social and religious life of these people; 
his book on life in highland Nepal, Hi- 
malayan Traders (New York: St. Mar- 
tin’s Press, 1975), is in some sense a 
sequel in that it describes the transfor- 
mations in Sherpa life that have 
occurred since his previous book. Hima- 
layan Traders analyzes the trans-Hima- 
layan trade, which once represented an 
essential element in the Sherpa econo- 
my; the economic and political upheav- 
als that have changed the lives of these 
mountain dwellers; and Sherpa reaction 
to the decline of trade. Man in the 
Andes , edited by P T. Baker and M.A. 
Little (Stroudsburg: Dowden, Hutchin- 
son, and Ross, Inc., 1976), is a multidis- 
ciplinary study of the Quechuas, com- 
prising seventeen articles by scientists 
investigating the biology of human pop- 
i illations at high altitude in the district of 
Nunoa and other parts of southern Peru. 
It includes chapters on “Growth and 
Morphology at High Altitude,” by A.R. 
Frisancho (pp. 180-207), “Natural Ex- 
posure to Cold,” by J.M. Hanna (pp. 
315-31), and “Physiological Responses 
to Cold,” by M.A. Little (pp. 332-62). 
See also A.R. Frisancho’s text, Human 
Adaptation (Saint Louis: C.V. Mosby 
Co., 1979). H.C. Buechler and J.-M. 
Buechler’s case study on The Bolivian 
Ay mar a (New York: Holt, Reinhart 
and Winston, Inc., 1971) focuses on the 
inhabitants of Compi, a community on 
the shores of Lake Titicaca on the Boliv- 
ian high plateau. The Buechlers view 
the community as part of a complex 
system rather than in isolation; from this 
standpoint, they report on Compi’s eco- 
nomic and social organization, child- 
hood in the community, the family, the 
fiesta system, and religion. The book 
also provides references and recom- 
mended readings.
