Call for book reviewer for HIMALAYA, The Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies21.11.2025 {en}
Dear colleagues,
HIMALAYA, the Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies, is seeking a qualified reviewer for the recently published volume:
Title: The Routledge International Handbook of Himalayan Environments, Development and Wellbeing
Editor: Ben Campbell, Mary Cameron, Tanka B. Subba
Publisher: Routledge
Publication Year: 2025
About the Book:
Shifting dynamics of peoples, livelihoods and territories, influenced by global warming, require new ways of thinking and new kinds of politics beyond the sovereignties of idealized traditional European nation-states. The Routledge International Handbook of Himalayan Environments, Development and Wellbeing features over 70 scholars from the social sciences, humanities and natural sciences who explore the interrelationships between environmental change, development and wellbeing across the entire Himalayan region – from the Indian Himalayas in the east to Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet (TAR), India and Gilgit-Baltistan in the west.
Within over 50 chapters, the handbook presents engaging field-based research on the region’s socio-cultural diversity, climate adaptation and socio-economic transformation. It examines creative ways Himalayan communities adapt, seek wellbeing and respond to environmental and development challenges. Lessons about learning from Indigenous and local peoples, about governance of forests and water, and grassroots conservation practices from the Himalayan region can help inform global networks of researchers and practitioners.
The handbook will interest scholars, students, stakeholders and the public about the evolving relationships between Himalayan peoples, territories and global warming, offering insights into people’s creative ways for understanding, adapting, and seeking wellbeing in environmental relations and development possibilities.
