The book is exemplary in its patient, detailed parsing of one of
the most powerful examples of the sort of colliding cultural
categories and definitions which ethnographers face more often than
many are willing to admit." —Journal of Anthropological
Research
"...in a manner that commands respect, Alley provides an
empirically grounded, as well as theoretically astute, model of how
to combine culture and ecology, and how to negotiate an analytical
path between widely different environmental meanings and
practices." —The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
