Reviews for Savannas of Our Birth: People, Wildlife, and Change in East Africa
"A tremendous amount of personal experience and research has gone into this book..."
Ian Martin Biological Conservation "Refreshing
perhaps even inspiring ... Reid's inclusive analysis is one of the most comprehensive and well-balanced examinations of human-environment interactions in African savanna ecosystems ... an exceptional project."
