Based on three years of fieldwork spread over a seventeen year period, this study will stand as one of the seminal efforts in the field of ethnobotany.>>>> (Dennis M. Warren )

The Mbeere in Kenya : Changing rural ecology,
By Craig A & Jennifer L Mueller (Delano, Mn USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mbeere in Kenya (Hardcover)
The first of a two volume series that provides a detailed look at the history and current status of the Mbeere people. While living with the tribe in the Peace Corps it provided valuable information that otherwise would have remained unknown to me as much of it is based on oral stories and knowledge. The history of the people as shown through goverment documents, pictures, stories, and previous antropologist studies are all included in the first half of this comprehensive set. It is a fine reference for anyone who wishes to study the tribe and its history.
