Trade Review
"""The mutual respect shared by Dr. Tumer and the Elders is clear from the detailed information which they have provided to her and the care with which she has presented it. She emphasizesthe need for paying attention to strictly sustainable harvesting, taking precautions against excessive consumption or incorrect preparation, and recognizing the intellectual property rights of First Nations peoples. Food Plants of Coastal First Peoples is an excellent book for showing people of any culture the continuing value of traditional ecological knowledge."" -- Robin J. Marles, Brandon University Book Review "
