  Footprints of the Forest is the clearest and most comprehensive account to date of the relationship between and Amazonian people and their botanical environment. Based on Balee's ten years of ethnographic and botanical research among the Ka'aper Indians of eastern Amazonia, this book documents how the Ka'apor use, manage, name, and classify hundreds of plant species found in their habitat.
