Bruce Roberts
Anthropology and Earth Science  

Netting, Robert McC.  Smallholders, Householders: Farm Families and the Ecology of Intensive, Sustainable Agriculture.  Stanford: Stanford UP, 1993.

Dr. Roberts chose this book because:

“Bob Netting’s pioneering work in cultural ecology and the study of smallholder peasant farmers was for me, the single most inspiring body of research in anthropology.  This book, published two years before his death in 1995, is a summary of his life’s work.”
