“The collection of chapters represents an in-depth analysis of trends in temperature and precipitation in different areas of the region. … The editors of this volume have created an excellent work that integrates climate change in the Himalayas with numerous ecological dynamics. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, professionals.” (J. L. Hatfield, Choice, Vol. 54 (5), January, 2017)"The focus on elevation and the diversity of topics presented within this book represent its greatest strengths. … the book provides both breadth and detail on ongoing environmental changes in the Himalayas. … it would be suitable for researchers and graduate-level students working in the region on a variety of topics, or as a reference book for upper-level courses on mountains and environmental change." (Joseph Shea, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 37 (3), August, 2017)
