This gives a comprehensive and authoritative overview of pastoralism, combining major theoretical debates with an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective on pastoral systems worldwide. It approaches pastoralism as a social-ecological system, synthesising knowledge about how pastoralists make a living and organise social life while managing herds in diverse and highly variable environments. A few chapters are open access and can be accessed on this website.
