(More customer reviews)A wonderful exploration into the lives and livelihoods of the high altitude Khumbu Sherpa. A scholarly, yet entertaining, look at this amazing region of Nepal. I highly suggest reading this book.

This study looks at animal management in Sagarmatha National Park in the context of Sherpa subsistance. Brower covers topics such as the intricacy of the man-land relationship, the adaptability of traditional people, and the range of considerations that must be taken into account in any attempt to modify land-use practices. Sherpa history and economy are discussed as are the substantial changes that the traditional life of Khumbu has undergone in the past few decades.
