Tzeltal Folk Zoology, Terence Hays

Terence Hays

In some respects, this volume might be viewed as a companion piece to Berlin et al.’s Principles of Tzeltal Plant Classification. It deals with the same people of highland Chiapas, Mexico, and an earlier version was Hunn’s doctoral thesis, supervised by Berlin. Nevertheless, it can also clearly stand on its own as a significant contribution to ethnology, with additional relevance to biosystematists, ecologists, linguists, and psychologists.
