Overview
This entry in the Natural Products Chemistry of Global Plants series has been prepared for university students of chemistry and ethnobotany and for those wishing to broaden their knowledge. It opens a window on a vast region of Asia not well described for its flora and provides new and fresh insights on:
- Significant plants, some endangered
- Traditional and modern applications of extracts
- The biochemical and pharmacological properties of extracts
- Contains over 150 full colour figures
The significance of the Silk Road is being revived today through immense investment by China and other eastern countries in major schemes of transport infrastructure.
