Title: An Excellent Resource For Students
Review: Lansing does something that few anthropologists can do with ethnography. He applies his knowledge in a real world system in an attempt to alleviate government constraints in regards to Balinese agricultural systems.This book shows the complexity of conflicting social models of "progress" and strives to make one think about the relationship of Western agricultural ideals and indiginous knowledge.Lansing also gives wonderful insight into the realm of ethnographic methods by applying his real-world experiences and addressing those experiences. Also, he does a wonderful job of showing how one comes to formulate worthwhile research questions.I would recommend this book to any introductory course in Cultural Antropology as well as students of Ecology, Agronomy, and Agriculture. This book is also meant for the casual reader.
