BOOK SUMMARY

This book is a genuinely impressive and valuable piece of work which clearly will be the definitive work on Sherpa economic and ecologic relations for a long time to come. This well written study will clearly remain a basic authority for many years and should be added to all serious research collections on ecological adaptation, human geography and anthropology in South and Central Asia. This book is an ambitious undertaking that succeeds in presenting a wealth of new information about a widely known but under researched group of people. This important book has value beyond its own frames of reference. Drawing on extensive interviews and data gathered during three years of fieldwork and with the use of many maps and diagrams, the author describes in detail the Sherpa ingenious adaptation to high altitude conditions, their past and present agricultural, pastoral and forest management practices and their own perspectives of life, tourism and the environmental history of their homeland.
