"...Social and Ecological History of the Pyrenees is a most welcome addition to the anthropological literature, especially for scholars specializing in environmental anthropology, policy studies, pastoralism, and globalization (or glocalization). This is a worthy contribution to the relatively scant English-language Pyrenean literature. It is timely, relevant, and reminds us what ethnography can and should be in the twenty-first century."... - Bryan Cummins, Journal of Anthropological Research
