520 |a The last few years have seen a major rethinking of some of the hallowed assumptions of range ecology and range management practice.

With examples drawn from all over Africa, the contributors examine the consequences of living with uncertainty for pastoral development planning, range and fodder management, drought responses, livestock marketing, resource tenure, institutional development and pastoral administration.
