The fascinating tale of a rich, long-lasting experience in field work; the combination of vision, conceptual thinking, and human quality makes it enlightening for economists, anthropologists, and sociologists, and a must for whoever wants to embark in field surveys for development economics.
Patrick Rey, Professor of Economics, Toulouse School of Economics
I have rarely enjoyed or learned more from a book outside of my field. Chronicles from the Field is original, serious, discerning, careful, and innovative. The writing is crisp and clear, the illustrations and charts are informative, and the structure and flow make you want to read more. In short, this book is excellent.
Justin McDaniel, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of Pennsylvania
Chronicles from the Field is very interesting and will be valuable to researchers who are thinking about running such a project themselves. Graduate-level students in economics, sociology, geography, and political science will benefit from reading this book.
Amrita Daniere, Vice Dean, Graduate, Department of Geography and Planning, University of Toronto, Mississauga
The book is an excellent reminder for all development economists that vigorous and persistent research entrepreneurship focused on economic data collection pays in terms of new knowledge gained and, with some luck, in terms of better economic policies too.
