""Lines in the Water "is both an unusually thoughtful book and a major contribution to the discussion on 'sustainable development.'"--James Ferguson, author of "Expectations of Modernity" "Ben Orlove knows the cultural communities and landscapes of Lake Titicaca like the back of his hand, but relates them to an entire body of literature about lake-dwelling cultures. His thematic approach to mountains, water, names and other elements of the Titicaca environs makes for rich reading and provocative debate. This book takes the field of political ethno-ecology to heights never before imagined by other practitioners."--Gary Nabhan, author of "Cultures of Habitat "and "Coming Home to Eat" "In this illuminating account of life around Lake Titicaca, Ben Orlove draws on his curiosity and experience to offer the reader a rich sense of places, voices, sights, and even pathways. Combining descriptions of everyday practices and history, political and economic forces, and personal memories, he provides an insightful ethnography, an imaginative achievement, and a fine read."--Stephen Gudeman, author of "The Anthropology of Economy" "A brave, accessible, and often lyrical account of Lake Titicaca and its people's successful struggle to manage their own resources. Orlove wears his deep learning lightly: a pleasure to read."--James C. Scott, Yale University
