Reviews

“This book offers a contemporary and diverse perspective on mobility issues in mountain areas. By combining different academic disciplines, it allows us to approach the subject from a variety of angles. Some chapters of this book are demanding for the reader, but this reflects their academic quality.” • Yann Decorzant, The Regional Centre for the Study of Alpine Populations (CREPA)
