Origins and Development of Mexican Ethnobotany -- Ethnobotany in Mexico: Historical Trends and Development of Scientific Approaches -- Cosmos, Corpus, and Praxis: An Integrated Approach of the Study of Plants, Ecosystems, and Societies -- Ethnobotany and Mexican Biocultural Patrimony -- Ethnobotanical and Ecological Studies of Plant Populations -- Ethnobotanical and Ecological studies of Communities and Ecosystems -- Domestication as an Continuing Process: From Populations to Landscape -- Domestication of Annual Plants -- Domestication of Perennial Plants -- Useful plants of Mexico -- Medicinal Plants -- Food Plants -- Maize -- Beans -- Squashes -- Cotton -- Peppers -- Ethnobotany and Ex-Situ Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources in Mexico -- Ethnobotany and In-Situ Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources in Mexico.

This book reviews the history, current state of knowledge, and different research approaches and techniques of studies on the interactions between humans and plants in an important area of agriculture and ongoing plant domestication: Mesoamerica. Leading scholars and key research groups in Mexico discuss essential topics as well as contributions from international research groups that have conducted studies on ethnobotany and domestication of plants in the region. Such a convocation will produce an interesting discussion about future investigation and conservation of regional human cultures, genetic resources, and cultural and ecological processes that are critical for global sustainability.
