Distinctions

To be as correct with my terminology as possible, it is necessary to say that the topics of my project are moreso defined in the realm of economic botany by Richard Evans Schultes and Siri Von Reis in Ethnobotany: The Evolution of a Discipline, as opposed to ethnobotany. Though the fields are largely the same and easily combined (which is the case here), economic botany pertains to the relations between people and plants in the modernized, agro-industrial realm, while ethnobotany claims the undeveloped, primitive and pre-industrial relationship of the same.
