Brower covers topics such as the intricacy of the man-land relationship, the adaptability of traditional people, and the range of considerations that must be taken into account in any attempt to modify land-use practices. Sherpa history and economy are discussed as are the substantial changes that the traditional life of Khumbu has undergone in the past few decades.Barbara Brower is the author of 'Sherpa of Khumbu: People, Livestock, and Landscape (Studies in Social Ecology & Environmental History)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780195626148 and ISBN 0195626141.
