This volume is a compendium of selected plant species of
ethnobotanical value to the highland communities of popular
Southeast Asia. "Traditional" knowledge held by local communities
on their resources is always in flux and adapting to a quickly
changing environment. New plants find their entry into the local
pharmacopoeias, while existing ones maybe removed. Likewise,
various local communities might find the same plant useful for
completely different purposes. While compiling information on the
species, authors have taken great care to ensure that the dynamic
nature of ethnobotanical knowledge is represented adequately.
Special emphasis has also been given to cultural value of species
to the local communities in the region. The field (and thus the
market) of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology has grown considerably
in recent years. Student interest is on the rise, attendance at
professional conferences has grown steadily, and the number of
professionals calling themselves ethnobotanists has increased
significantly (the various societies (Society for Economic Botany,
International Society of Ethnopharmacology, Society of
Ethnobiology, International Society for Ethnobiology, and many
regional and national societies in the field currently have
thousands of members). The objective of this new Major Reference
Work on Ethnobotany of Mountain Regions of Southeast Asia is to
take advantage of the increasing international interest and
scholarship on highland landscapes and communities. While
ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the
world, no comprehensive encyclopedic volume on the highlands of
popular SE Asia is available in the market. We include the best and
latest research on a full range of descriptive, methodological,
theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants for
the region. Scholars in plant sciences worldwide will also be
interested in the dedicated website for this volume and its dynamic
content.
