| Resource Description
|
| MEDICINE QUEST, In Search of Nature's Healing Secrets. Plotkin. In this book, Mark Plotkin goes beyond Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice to explore the frontiers of our search for new medicines. Details how indigenous wisdom, biotechnology and natural products lead to stunning discoveries: painkillers from the skin of rain forest frogs, antitumor agents from snake venom, and anticoagulants extracted from leeches. Fascinating historical anecdotes about healing plants, from willow bark that gave rise to the modern pharmaceutical industry, to the extraction of penicillin that helped determine the outcome of WWII. Ethnobotany, an exciting, hope-filled frontier. #STO-9103.
