Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB overall condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and an examination of the complex relations between indigenous culture and intellectual property rights edited by STEPHEN B. BRUSH and DOREN STABINSKY--the book is a FIRST PRINTING and a softcover copy. This book is in SUPERB overall condition and has a couple of very light scuffs on the lower right of the front surface, slight dings on the opening tips and lower right edge of the back cover and just very light shelfwear and light evidence of gentle browsing but no other significant flaws! The book is titled Valuing Local Knowledge: Indigenous People and Intellectual Property Rights and it was edited by STEPHEN B. BRUSH and DOREEN STABINSKY; it was published by Island Press in 1996 and is a 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.Experts from around the world examine an innovative proposal to promote both cultural survival and biological conservation: treating cultural and indigenous knowledge as a form of intellectual property. Currently the focus of a heated debate among indigenous peoples, human rights advocates, crop breeders, pharmaceutical companies, conservationists, social scientists, and lawyers, the proposal would allow impoverished people in biologically rich areas to realize an economic return from resources under their care. Monetary compensation could both validate their knowledge and provide them with an equitable reward for sharing it, thereby compensating biological stewardship and encouraging conservation.Valuing Local Knowledge presents case studies of programs that recognize indigenous rights, and brings direct experience to bear on the international debate over intellectual property, conservation, and indigenous rights.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
