This book presents results from cooperative research between the University of Bergen, Norway, and Tribhuvan University, Nepal, funded by the Norwegian government from 2002 to 2006. The research focused on one of the most remote parts of Nepal—Manang—tucked away against the border with China/Tibet in central Nepal.
The book is divided into four parts, which illustrate the breadth of topics explored during the research program:
- Productivity and Livelihood,
- Culture and Ethnicity,
- Vegetation and Forest, and
- Medicinal Plants and Ethnomedicine.
