Reviews “An extensive work on ethnomedicinal plants . . . Novel work on phytochemistry and pharmacology of several important medicinal plants. . . . This book highlights the ethnomedicinal plants used by different tribes, their phytochemistry and pharmacology, nature and effect of bioactive compounds, therapeutic values, role of phytochemicals, and way of biological activities etc. The book also provides in-depth information of ethnobotanical study and enlisting of potential ethnomedicinal plants usage by the indigenous tribes. This book also explores the role of traditional medicine in providing new functional leads and modern approaches that can offer elegant strategies for facilitating the drug discovery process. In addition, given the scope of its coverage, the book offers a valuable resource for scientists and researchers exploring traditional and herbal medicine, as well as graduate students in courses on traditional medicine, several advanced techniques and investigation on phytochemistry and pharmacology to facilitate modern drug discovery programmes.” — Prof. B. K. Datta, from the Foreword This volume, The Phytochemical and Pharmacological Aspects of Ethnomedicinal Plants, addresses the resurgence of interest in the rediscovery of ethnomedicinal plants as a source of potential ethnomedicines. In the 21st century, the pharmacological effects of medicinal plants are considered to have a promising future as drugs and medicines for the management of healthcare. Considering the extremely high cost and length of time needed for the development of new drugs, as well as the high drug attrition rate, pharmaceutical companies and researchers continue to explore new ways for drug R&D and focus more attention on the benefits of ethnomedical plants as a source of new compounds for drugs.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
