Reviews

'This research exquisitely exemplifies the complexities and strengths of mixed-method design. Vallianatos links diverse data sets-physiological measurements, dietary analysis, market surveys-with ethnographic data to produce a rich and comprehensive description of the variety of forces shaping women's food consumption practices in India...[and] achieves the extraordinary task of forming a coherent portrayal of everyday life in the New Delhi slums.' Kim D. Raine, University of Alberta
