Medical Anthropology: Medical Ethnobotanicals of the Hawaiian Islands.
I have just returned from a week-long fellowship course in ethnobotany and environmental science run by the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) on Kauai, one of the Hawaiian islands. During this fellowship, aimed at science writers and led by journalist Dr. JoAnn Valenti, we studied in great detail, the natural history and ethnobotany of this island with some of the leading scientists in the world.
