Softcover. New book. BOTANY. Richard S. Felger has studied natural history in arid regions worldwide and is the founder and executive director of the Drylands Institute in Tucson, Arizona. Mary Beck Moser began studying the Seri language in the early 1950s when she and her husband, the late Edward W. Moser, made their home in the Seri village of El Desemboque. Working with the Summer Institute of Linguistics, she wrote a number of linguistic and anthropological papers and completed her husband's translation of the New Testament into Seri. In the early 1980s she continued her work with the Seri in various areas of study, including an extensive dictionary of the language. She passed away in 2013. "People of the Desert and Sea is one of those books that should not have to wait a generation or two to be considered a classic. A feast for the eye as well as the mind, this ethnobotany of the Seri Indians of Sonora represents the most detailed exploration of plant use by a hunting-and-gathering people to date. . . . Scholarship in the best sense of the termÑprecise without being pedantic, exhaustive without exhausting its readers."ÑJournal of Arizona History "To read and gaze through this elegantly illustrated book is to be exposed, as if through a work of science fiction, to an astonishing and unknown cultural world."ÑNorth Dakota Quarterly "This long-awaited, excellent, definitive volume about the Seri Indians of Sonora, Mexico, offers a valuable resource and guide to anthropologists and biologists researching life in the North American deserts. The book gives a total cultural-ecological picture of how the little-known Seri tribe exists in a marginal environment."ÑQuarterly Review of Biology "A key reference for ethnobiologists, economic botanists, arid lands ecologists, and ethnologists concerned with hunter-gatherers generally or indigenous peoples of western North America specifically."ÑAmerican Anthropologist "This qualitative ethnobotanical study is an excellent example of interdisciplinary research on traditional plant knowledge of a hunting, gathering, and seafaring people."ÑEconomic Botany (Key Words: Desert, Ethnobotany, Seri Indians, American Indians, Native Americans, Richard Stephen Felger, Mary Beck Moser, Environmental Studies, Indigenous Studies, Botany, Mexico).<
