‘This accomplished work by one of the leading scholars of human-nature relationships will be of interest to anyone interested in how poverty and the environment affect each other.

One of the most comprehensive and balanced studies available on the subject.’Professor Arun Agrawal, School of Natural Resources & Environment, University of Michigan, USA
