Este livro é fruto dos profícuos diálogos que o Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal da Paraíba vem construindo, desde seus primeiros dias, com pesquisadores dos mais variados locais do país. A área de concentração do Programa, Cultura Histórica, tornou-se mote de diversas discussões em palestras, mesas-redondas e seminários realizados em João Pessoa desde 2005. A novidade do tema rendeu frutos, tanto no âmbito das pesquisas desenvolvidas pelos mestrandos, como também em momentos de trocas intelectuais entre os docentes do PPGH e pesquisadores que nos visitavam.

Research in recent years has increasingly shifted away from purely academic research, and into applied aspects of the discipline, including climate change research, conservation, and sustainable development. It has by now widely been recognized that “traditional” knowledge is always in flux and adapting to a quickly changing environment. Trends of globalization, especially the globalization of plant markets, have greatly influenced how plant resources are managed nowadays. While ethnobotanical studies are now available from many regions of the world, no comprehensive encyclopedic series focusing on the worlds mountain regions is available in the market. Scholars in plant sciences worldwi...
