Nomadic Pastoralism among the Mongol Herders
Nomadic Pastoralism among the Mongol Herders: Multispecies and Spatial Ethnography in Mongolia and Transbaikalia is based on anthropological research carried out by the author between 2008 and 2016 and addresses the spatial features of nomadic pastoralism among the Mongol herders of Mongolia and Southern Siberia from a cross-comparative perspective. In addition to classical methods of survey, Charlotte Marchina innovatively used GPS recordings to analyze the ways in which pastoralists envision and concretely occupy the landscape, which they share with their animals and invisible entities. The data, represented in abundant and original cartography, provides a better understanding of the mutual adaptations of both herders and animals in the common use of unfenced pastures, not only between different herders but between different species. The author also highlights the herders' adaptive strategies at a time of rapid sociopolitical and environmental changes in this area of the world.

Batı Toroslarda Yörük Göç Yollarının Turizm Amaçlı Kullanımına Yönelik Planlama Önerileri
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Antalya’nın batısında yer alan Yörük göç yollarını belirlemek, bu yolların çevresindeki doğal ve kültürel coğrafya özelliklerini ortaya çıkarmak ve turizm amaçlı kullanımına yönelik planlama önerileri sunmaktır. Kemer, Kumluca, Finike ve Elmalı ilçelerinde, 37 köyde, 13 sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu araştırmacılar tarafından görüşmeyi kabul eden 21 kişiye yöneltildi. Katılımcı gözlem ve görüşme ile elde edilen verilerden Yörük grupları tarafından en çok rağbet gören yaylanın Akpınar yaylası olduğu anlaşıldı. Akpınar Yaylası Yörük Göç Yolu’nda yaylak ile kışlak arasındaki güzergahta çalışmalar başlatıldı. Sarıcasu, Karacaören, Karacaağaç ve civarında kışlayan göçerlerin Akpınar yaylası arasındaki göç yolu, bu göç yol üzerindeki günübirlik ve kısa süreli konaklama yerleri GPS ile tespit edildi ve ArcMap haritalama metodu kullanılarak göç rotaları haritalandırıldı. Karacaağaç köyü ve çevresindeki kışlaklardan Akpınar yaylasına kadar ulaşan göç yolu yaklaşık 50,8 km kadardır. Kışlaktan yaylağa göç 8-10 gün sürmektedir. Alamalı, Çubuklu, Dikenli ve Köşklü’de bir, Dibek’te ise 3-5 gece konaklanılır. Bunun yanı sıra göç esnasında hayvanların durumuna göre kısa konaklama yerleri de vardır. Kışlaktan yaylağa kısa ve uzun konaklama yerlerinde yapılacak coğrafi işaretlemelerle Akpınar Yaylası Yörük Göç Yolu eko turizm, kırsal ve kültür turizmi kapsamında değerlendirilebilir.

Himalaya bound : one family's quest to save their animals-- and an ancient way of life
Following his vivid account of traveling with one of the last camel caravans on earth in Men of Salt, Michael Benanav now brings us along on a journey with a tribe of forest-dwelling nomads in India. Welcomed into a family of nomadic water buffalo herders, he joins them on their annual spring migration into the Himalayas. More than a glimpse into an endangered culture, this superb adventure explores the relationship between humankind and wild lands, and the dubious effect of environmental conservation on peoples whose lives are inseparably intertwined with the natural world. --amazon.com.

Cost of resilience to climate change: migration, conflicts, and epidemics in imperial China
A growing scholarship is focusing on the cost of social resilience to climate change in the past. Among different resilience strategies, migration could be effective for nomadic societies despite the potential consequences of conflicts and epidemics. Thus, this study utilizes historical records to statistically investigate the linkages among nomadic migrations, nomad–farmer conflicts, and epidemics under climate change and population pressure in imperial China (200 BCE–1840 CE) on the national and provincial scales. The current study will first attempt to empirically identify and analyze the cost of resilience to climate change mainly in the direction from nomadic societies to agrarian societies in historical China. In particular, we show the cost of nomadic migration passed in a chain mechanism as ‘climate change → nomadic migration → nomad–farmer conflicts → epidemics.’ Nomad–farmer conflicts were one direct effect of nomadic migration, while epidemics were an indirect one. Spatially, more provinces were affected under the direct effect than under the indirect effect. Furthermore, the first level of chain ‘nomadic migration → nomad–farmer conflicts’ covers more provinces than the second level ‘nomad–farmer conflicts → epidemics’. These empirical results remind us to identify and avoid the cost of resilience as early as possible before the cost may transmit further in a chain manner. However, the provinces outside the concentrated nomad–farmer conflicts did not demonstrate significant linkages between conflicts and epidemics, which highlights the importance of peaceful cross-civilizational and inter-societal interactions against common challenges of climate change. This study with a cross-scale perspective in geography provides a theoretical implication to improve the current understanding on climate justice and have a practical value to avoid or minimize the cost of resilience.
