Recensioner i media

"Suzanne Cook's 'The Forest of the Lacandon Maya: An Ethnobotanical Guide' is a much-needed addition to the ethnobotanical literature. ... The guide is well organized and researched, and ethnobotanists will find this book extremely valuable. The inclusion of plant names in the southern Lacandon dialect as well as other Mayan languages makes this guide especially comprehensible." (Economic Botany, Vol. 70 (3), 2016)
