La publicación real fue en abril de 2010 pero corresponde al año 2009 ya que se demoro. Informe en 2009 que estaba en prensa por ello. ">Nomadic Peoples presents a collection of articles that give an idea of the continuities and changes of pastoralism in upland areas during the past five centuries. They are the result of a lengthy project on ?Mountain Pastoralism and Modernity? organized by historians from different continents. The following introduction aims to trace the framework of that enterprise. It takes up a few key concepts: mountain pastoralism, history, verticality, intensification and mobility. It then describes the project, outlines the current state of research in the continents concerned, and points to some results and prospects. Keywords: pastoralism, mountain areas, history, intensification, modernity
