"...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."
