Summary |
"The authorship is truly international making this the first global-scale compilation of traditional and modern knowledge of the use of plants for animal health. It is a "must -have" for all individuals serious about ethnopharmacology, veterinarians working with the studied populations, and anthropologists interested in getting a better idea about traditional approaches to animal care."-Carolyn Wetzel, Smith College, in Plant Science Bulletin, No: 57(1) 2011" the first, to my knowledge, to bring together information about ethnoveterinary medicines from a wide range of countries Dr. Katerere and Dr. Luseba have been fortunate enough to persuade leading authorities in his field to contribute chapters and I am sure it will prove to be a valuable reference source "-from the Foreword by Peter Houghton, Emeritus Professor in Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Division, King's College, London and editor of Journal of Ethnopharmacology"A continuing theme in much of this book is the necessity to establish both safety and efficacy of herbal remedies, rather than simply propagate folklore. This book brings together and summarizes a very large body of research and observation; approximately 1400 (mostly modern) references are cited in 17 chapters. It reads like the proceedings of a symposium, but in fact it is the outcome of a special effort by the editors to enlist the services of many experts worldwide. It's not all hard science ... . A good bit of space is devoted to local beliefs in various parts of the world, and to the Chinese philosophy of yin-yang, equally applicable to humans and animals. The book concludes with an extensive index."-Neil A. Harriman, University Of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Wiisconsin, USA, in Economic Botany, 65 (2) 2011 |
