of the forty-one genera of American woody and herbaceous bamboos. They also
discuss three genera of basal grasses that resemble bamboos. They describe
the importance of bamboos to South American landscapes and cultures,
explaining how jungles of Guadua and thickets of Chusquea host communities of
small animals and how human societies use bamboo for housing, furniture,
basketry, food, soil conservation, and musical instruments. Generously
illustrated with color photographs and detailed line drawings, the book
provides genus-by-genus descriptions of bamboos, as well as habitat data,
range maps, lists of recognized species, and complete references. The first
