Abstract
- The Ethnobotany of Eden: Rethinking the Jungle Medicine Narrative by Robert A. Voeks (2018) 328 pp., University of Chicago Press, Chicago, USA. The book is really about the "jungle medicine narrative" - the changing Western/European narrative about tropical forests and the people who inhabit them. However, it is a bit dated in the sense that the jungle medicine narrative has been overwritten by a new narrative - that of jungle ecosystem services. [Extracted from the article]
