"“The Western highlands of Cameroon have long fascinated students of history, anthropology and politics because of their rich and complex cultural life. Yet the rocks, soils, slopes, rivers, vegetation and climate that are so closely related to that history have been relatively neglected. Now, Cornelius Lambi and Emmanuel Neba, two of Cameroon’s most well-established and authoritative geographers, have started to fill the gap. This collection of eleven very diverse essays shows their latest research and their deep understanding of the environment of the Western highlands. This lavishly illustrated volume is an important addition to a critical field, which will become a vital reference for anyone interested in understanding resource management in Cameroon.”
