China's Pastoral Region : Sheep and Wool, Minority Nationalities, Rangeland Degradation and Sustainable Development (CABI Publishing)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book is about preserving and improving the livelihood of pastoral communities in northern and north western China. The focus is on sheep and wool; on people who raise the sheep, especially minority nationalities; and on degradation of the rangelands on which the animals and ultimately the
herdsmen and their families depend. Since the book is based on extensive fieldwork spanning four and a half years, it is unique in that it presents a comprehensive picture of a remote but fascinating and increasingly important part of the world.
