"Professor Zaman's book is a rare and welcome contribution to the resettlement, development and applied anthropology literature. He invites the reader to join him on his fascinating, in some instances humorous and occasionally poignant, 30-year journey that retraces his career path, documenting first-hand experiences from academia to practitioner/consultant, and which spans a number of countries and several project sectors. His engaging style makes the book a pleasure to read.”
