Sinopsis | ISBN: 9781786352286 | |
This volume consists of three sections connected by a common undercurrent: the elucidation of differences in perspective between (and among) people and polities. The first, in concentrating on ecology, serves in part to further explore the theme of the previous volume of REA: climate change.
It looks into aquifer usage and ecology in the Midwestern United States, farming and climate shifts in Costa Rica and in Burkina Faso, and goat herding and conservation issues in the Himalayas. The second part of the volume focuses on exchange transactions and relations in a variety of situations and settings: among Nigerian inmigrant business owners in New York City, along the path of the famous Koh-i-noor Diamond from India to the Tower of London, and between dealers and buyers in illegal narcotics markets in the Eastern, Midwestern, and Pacific Northwestern USA. Fnally, chapters in the third section share a cocern with individual and group adaptations to certainconditions of life |
