This book analyzes the social and economic situation of the
Shahsevans - mountain nomads in the harsh ecological environment of
northwestern Iran. Based on in-depth field work while living with
the nomads for a year, the book's author succeeds in offering a
vivid insight into the Shahsevans' strategy to cope with both
political impacts and the changing environmental conditions of
their traditional way of life. At the same time, the book reveals
the intensity of climatic change and the nomads' adaptation
measures to these ecological threats. It is a well-documented and
comprehensive analysis of the interactions between nature and
societies under stress. As such, it will serve as a model for
urgently needed comparative studies in the mountain belts of
Western and Central Asia. (Series: ZEF Development Studies - Vol.
