Plant Technology of First Peoples in British Columbia (Royal British Columbia Museum Handbook)

In her third ethnobotany handbook, Turner focuses on the plants that provided heat, shelter, transportation, clothing, implements, nets, ropes, and containers. She also shows how plant materials were used for decoration and ornamentation, as scents, cleansing agents, and insect repellants, and in recreational activities. Photos of plants and artifacts abound. The previous edition has the title: Plants in British Columbia Indian Technology. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
