Grasseni (anthropology, University of Bergamo, Italy) explores the impact of technology and the pressure of the market economy on rural communities in the Italian Alps, looking at changes in animal husbandry practices, local food production, and loss of biodiversity, as well as cultural diversity, social networks, and traditions. The book was originally published in Italian as Lo sguardo dell mano. Pratiche della localitá e anthropologia dell visione in una comunitá Montana lombarda by Il Sestante in 2003. This English edition is enhanced with new material on film as ethnography, the anthropology of vision, and cow breeding practices. There is also a new chapter on cheese-making, which updates the ethnography of dairy farming in the valley and refers to the author's most recent ethnographic work on local development, typical products, and the reinvention of tradition. B&w photos are included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
