Ecology and Exchange in the Andes (Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology,
KSh400.00
For centuries Andean civilization and ecology has afforded a special fascination for European travellers and officials. In this volume, eight writers – anthropologists, economists and historians working in Bolivia, Britain, France, Ireland and Peru – describe and analyse aspects of rural society in various Andean regions. They focus on the impact of capitalist development on both the peasant economy and the landed elite in the Andes and the ways in which that impact has been shaped by a specific Andean culture and a characteristic Andean ecology and climate. Their discussion of Andean specificity centres on the notion of verticality, first developed by John Murra to describe political and economic adaptation to climatic variation in the Andean eco-system. The volume represents a substantial contribution to our understanding of Andean rural society and the nature of the Latin American peasantry and peasant economy. It will appeal to all those interested in economic anthropology, Latin America, peasant studies and the capitalist world-economy.

Time To Get Tough

Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump conjured images of American strength and culture when small towns boomed with industry, mom and pop shops bustled, and people said, ĀMerry Christmas!ā
The media scoffed at Trumpās vision and the people who supported him; they were blinded by the Clinton machine. But their eyes were opened after Trump won 62 million votes and the Oval Office. Even Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said, ĀDonald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard.ā As Trump says inĀ Time to Get Tough, ĀIāve built businesses across the globe. Iāve dealt with foreign leaders. Iāve created tens of thousands of American jobs. My whole life has been about executing deals and making real moneyĀmassive money. Thatās what I do for a living: make big things happenĀ ā
Trump is about to make the biggest deals of his life, and heās going to make them for America! From reversing lax immigration policies to eliminating regulations that restrict small businesses, Donald Trump understands that America Ādoesnāt need cowardice, it needs courage.ā
President Elect Trump is about to ĀMake America Great Againā andĀ Time to Get ToughĀ is his blueprint
