About the Book 

Rainfall is very unreliable in western Rajasthan and drought and famine are frequent. Applying ecological-anthropological approaches, this study shows how different socio-economic and caste groups adopt different adaptive strategies for subsistence and demonstrate the inter-relationships between physical, social, economic and political factors in the human ecology of the region.
