"...a fascinating and unusual effort to address audiences in both social-cultural anthropology and general science...The tone and style of writing is precise and economical while it also retains a level of detail that is ethnographically intriguing." American Anthropologist "The reader will find a great number of ideas and issues to think both with and against, making this both an excellent primer and an ideal undergraduate course book, as well as being of interest to anyone already working in the area of knowledge and development." Social Anthropology "This collection is much more than a plea for valuing 'indigenous' knowledge. It is a reasoned set of arguments to value those things that cannot be measured...a rich mix of approaches developed here... an important reminder...that Western society may not prove to be the best adapted or most advance social formation in a sustainable future."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
