A LOOK AT BOOKS

The Healing Forest. Medicinal and Toxic Plants of the Northwest Amazonia.
by Schultes, Richard Evans and Robert F. Raffauf. 1990.
Dioscorides Press, Portland, Oregon.

What can we say about this fabulous book? Superlatives seem inadequate. Written by perhaps the greatest modern explorer, the Father of Ethnobotany, Richard Schultes, and a respected medicinal chemist, Robert Raffauf, this book ranks as one of the best available on the subject. Anyone with a serious interest in Amazonian ethnobotany should read this. A benchmark reference.
