520    "Cannabis: Evolution and Ethnobotany is a comprehensive, 
       interdisciplinary exploration of the natural origins and 
       early evolution of this famous plant, highlighting its 
       historic role in the development of human societies. 
       Cannabis has long been prized for the strong and durable 
       fiber in its stalks, its edible and oil-rich seeds, and 
       the psychoactive and medicinal compounds produced by its 
       female flowers. The culturally valuable and often 
       irreplaceable goods derived from cannabis deeply 
       influenced the commercial, medical, ritual, and religious 
       practices of cultures throughout the ages, and human 
       desire for these commodities directed the evolution of the
       plant toward its contemporary varieties. As interest in 
       cannabis grows and public debate over its many uses rises,
       this book will help us understand why humanity continues 
       to rely on this plant and adapts it to suit our needs."--
