"The studies in this well produced volume provide the reader with some very valuable information on the transformations that are taking place in this part of High Asia and Pakistan. Although each deals with micro-regional specificities, taken together, they enable the reader to grasp and compare the similarities and differences between these regions. […] High Mountain Pastoralism is a major contribution to the field of studies on high altitude societies, and is a must for all those interested not only in Asia, but also in the Andes and other comparable environments."

"The strength of the book lies in this differentiated analysis which is based on extensive empirical research. Several chapters challenge conventional modernization theories, and the authors’ intimate connection to their data makes for an unusually stimulating and pleasurable read. The reader gains a vivid picture of the variability, the diversity and the flexibility of how people adapt to social and political developments."
Erdkunde
"gibt einen hervorragenden kulturgeographischen Überblick über die gegenwärtige Situation und speziell den Wandel in den pastoralen und agropastoralen Bevölkerungen der verschiedenen Talschaften im nördlichen Pakistan. Es sollte in keiner geographischen und ethnologischen Bibliothek fehlen."
