Trade Review
“Sowing the Forest is impressive in its interdisciplinarity, bringing together extensive original work involving ethnography, botany, and linguistics, as well as engaging with other disciplines. It makes interesting and important contributions on multiple levels. Few other monographs of this nature are as wide-ranging."—Patience Epps, coeditor of Upper Rio Negro: Cultural and Linguistic Interaction in Northwestern Amazonia
