It introduces readers to the topic of ecological anthropology by presenting illustrative ethnographic cases of hunter-gatherer, pastoralist, and agricultural societies. This treatment includes information on human-environment intervention, especially in the sections of East African pastoralism and peasant cultivation in Switzerland.

Cultural Ecology,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cultural Ecology (Paperback)
VERY useful!Though it may be an old book, it is very well organized, and a very concise, informative text. A little bit dry, but a good tool for any students interested in anthropology, or subsitence examples around the world.
