The Forest of the Lacandon Maya: An Ethnobotanical Guide , with accompanying DVD, serves as a comprehensive guide to the botanical heritage of the northern Lacandones. Numbering fewer than 300 men, women, and children, this community is the most culturally conservative of the Mayan groups. Protected by their hostile environment, over many centuries they maintained autonomy from the outside forces of church and state, while they continued to draw on the forest for spiritual inspiration and sustenance.§In The Forest of the Lacandon Maya: An Ethnobotanical Guide , linguist Suzanne Cook presents a bilingual Lacandon-English ethnobotanical guide to more than 450 plants in a tripartite organization: a botanical inventory in which main entries are headed by Lacandon names followed by common English and botanical names, and which includes plant descriptions and uses; an ethnographic inventory, which expands the descriptions given in the botanical inventory, providing the socio-historical, dietary, mythological, and spiritual significance of most plants; and chapters that discuss the relevant cultural applications of the plants in more detail provide a description of the area s geography, and give an ethnographic overview of the Lacandones. An accompanying DVD contains a digital version of the book, with active links throughout the main sections to original audio-video recordings that demonstrate the use and preparation of the most significant plants.§
