Herbs Health Healers - Africa as Ethnopharmacological Treasury by Peter de Smet.
This richly illustrated book discusses African natural medicines, drugs and poisons. Besides descriptions of the use of medicines there is plenty of information on a variety of indigenous objects like masks, sculptures, magical objects and traditional items used by healers. The pictures and descriptions of African objects and traditional practices illustrate the ethnopharmalogical and ethnomedical stories that need to be told about Africa.
