The indigenous glyph that represents Oaxaca—a human face with huaje pods—embodies the ancient relationship between plants and people in this region. In celebration of that connection, this book presents many of the state’s endemic species. Cecilia Salcedo’s camera reveals unexpected facets of these plants, while anthropologist Alejandro de Ávila invites us to explore historic landscapes, oral traditions and reflections on this environment.PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING
