This is the first comprehensive listing of Amazon fruits from an ethnobotanical perspective. This detailed book covers 50 botanical families, 207 species, in the Amazon including how the people of each region use them. It is lavishly illustrated with high-quality photographs taken by the author, an extensive list of references, and Dr. Smith's latest, meticulous research. This book should be a foundational work for scholars working in the plant sciences, researchers in ethnobotanical studies, and general interest scholars seeking more detailed information on the latest research by a leading scientist in the Amazon.

"Amazon Fruits: An Ethnobotanical Journey, Nigel Smith has produced a treasure of ethnobotanical observations that in all likelihood can never be replicated. I encourage anyone with an interest in ethnobotany to either purchase these volumes for themselves, or encourage their local library to do so." (Robert Voeks, Economic Botany, Vol. 78 (2), 2024)
