Infos

Ethnopharmacology is one of the world's fastest-growing scientific disciplines encompassing a diverse range of subjects. It links natural sciences research on medicinal, aromatic and toxic plants with socio-cultural studies and has often been associated with the development of new drugs. The Editors of Ethnopharmacology have assembled an international team of renowned contributors to provide a critical synthesis of the substantial body of new knowledge and evidence on the subject that has emerged over the past decade.

Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of the subject including a brief history, ethnopharmacological methods, the role of intellectual property protection, key analytical approaches,  the role of ethnopharmacology in primary/secondary education and links to biodiversity and ecological research. Part two looks at ethnopharmacological contributions to modern therapeutics across a range of conditions including CNS disorders, cancer, bone and joint health and parasitic diseases. The final part is devoted to regional perspectives covering all continents, providing a state-of-the -art assessment of the status of ethnopharmacological research globally.

• A comprehensive, critical synthesis of the latest developments in ethnopharmacology.
• Includes a section devoted to ethnopharmacological contributions to modern therapeutics across a range of conditions.  
• Contributions are from leading international experts in the field. 

This timely book will prove invaluable for researchers and students across a range of subjects including ethnopharmacology, ethnobotany, medicinal plant research and natural products research.

Ethnopharmacology- A Reader is part of the ULLA Series in Pharmaceutical Sciences www.ullapharmsci.org

Rezensionen

"Ethnopharmacology is a remarkable book that comprises cutting-edge research from a range of world-class authorities from many countries across the world. This makes it one of the most authoritative books ever written on this subject and on phytotherapy in general"...."in my opinion, the real appeal of the book is the diversity of the subjects covered, which include the comparative and quantitative methods of ethnopharmacological research; biodiversity, conservation, and ethnopharmacology; ecopharmacognosy; the use of novel nuclear magnetic resonance techniques in natural product research; and ethnopharmacology and intellectual property rights"....."Ethnopharmacology is indeed a valuable book for natural-product researchers, especially those interested in novel approaches for uncovering new leads for the development of essential medicines from plant and animal sources.I have no doubt in my mind that it will serve the purpose for which it is intended: a cutting-edge text meant to equip postgraduate students in pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, and other related disciplines, anywhere in the world, with sound knowledge of the newly developing field of ethnopharmacology" Bioscience, July 2016
