About this title: In this layman-friendly study of nature's contributions to modern medicine, an ethnobotonist explores natural medicines that exist in oceans, in forests, and in the bodies of certain animals. He also warns that overpopulation, environmental erosion, and the destruction of indigenous peoples will strongly reduce the possibility of finding a cure for cancer and other diseases.
