But even a novice surveying the literature on the subject of printing quickly recognizes that three major themes, or lines of inquiry, emerge from the tangle of scholar ship on the subject.

Cattle Hybrids Among the Sherpa of Nepal
The geographic distribution of cattle species in the Nepal Himalaya is not uniform. Rather, as in other mountainous regions of the world, an altitudinal zonation of cattle is to be found in the Himalaya. While the broad outlines of such zonation can be attributed to the contrasting abilities of different bovine species to survive at different elevations, certain bovine distributions may result from cultural perceptions of cattle resources. This s…
Questions in the Sacred-Cow Controversy [and Comments and Reply]

The earlier problems of location and elevation were solved, for the most part, by the pioneering efforts of the Surveyor General of India and the Survey of India, conducted since the mid-nineteenth century. Unfortunately, virtually all of the maps produced by the Surveyor General of …
