From the reviews: "This book is a product of a collaborative research programme 'Assessing trade-offs between poverty alleviation and wildlife conservation', and coordinated by the International Livestock Research Institute in Nairobi. ... provides in-depth description of the methodological approaches taken in the analysing livelihoods in the case studies. ... this will provide a valuable resource for researchers developing similar studies. ... an extremely useful resource for scholars and students of pastoralism. ... The book is extremely densely and precisely written, and provides a comprehensive review of the literature." (Nicky Allsopp, African Journal of Range & Forage Science, Vol. 26 (3), 2009)
