Description
"This book contains a comprehensive description of northwest Mexico's tropical deciduous forests and thornscrub on the traditional Mayo lands reaching from the Sea of Cortes to the foothills of the Sierra Madre. The first half of the book is a highly readable account of the climate, geology, and vegetation of the region. The authors also provide a valuable history of the people and discuss their language, culture, festival traditions, and plant use. The second half of the book is an annotated list of plants presenting the authors' findings on plant use in Mayo culture; it includes an unprecedented lexicon of Mayo plant terminology.". "A resource on the botanical riches of northwestern Mexico, this book is also the most comprehensive account of the Mayo people, their history, and their relationship with land. It compellingly bears out the author's conviction that the land and its resources play a major role in the development of culture."--BOOK JACKET.
