"As politically oriented environmental history, Nomad's Land reconstructs the broad field within which French forestry policy developed and was applied, showing thereby how conservationism both fueled, and was dependent upon, shifting power relationships at the state and local levels."--Patrick Young, Journal of Modern History, "In this succinct and lucidly written book, Andrea Duffy shows how French ideas about forests provided ammunition for sustained campaigns against herders, sheep, goats, and the pastoralist way of life in Mediterranean France, colonial Algeria, and Ottoman Anatolia. An insightful and delightful addition to Mediterranean environmental history."--J. R. McNeill, University Professor in the Department of History and School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, "In this succinct and lucidly written book, Andrea Duffy shows how French ideas about forests provided ammunition for sustained campaigns against herders, sheep, goats, and the pastoralist way of life in Mediterranean France, colonial Algeria, and Ottoman Anatolia. An insightful and delightful addition to Mediterranean environmental history."--J. R. McNeill, professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and the Department of History at Georgetown University and author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean, 1620-1914, "[ Nomad's Land ] can serve as a textbook for lecturers and as a reference book for researchers of social and environmental history, rural history, Mediterranean history, French colonialism, Ottoman history and history of pastoralism."--Onur Inal, Nomadic Peoples, "Duffy provides a concise and thought-provoking assessment of the decline of Mediterranean pastoralism in the modern era. She ably introduces the generalist to the regional history of French forest administration. For scholars of the modern Mediterranean, Nomad's Land will serve as a culmination of recent developments in several subfields of environmental history, offering them an important opportunity to take stock, to reflect further on important transnational connections, and to chart new paths forward for national and regional histories."--Jackson R. Perry, Agricultural History, "In this succinct and lucidly written book, Andrea Duffy shows how French ideas about forests provided ammunition for sustained campaigns against herders, sheep, goats, and the pastoralist way of life in Mediterranean France, colonial Algeria, and Ottoman Anatolia. An insightful and delightful addition to Mediterranean environmental history."--J. R. McNeill, University Professor at Georgetown University and author of Mosquito Empires: Ecology and War in the Greater Caribbean, 1620-1914

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
