Ariel Appel replied to fahmid al zaid's discussion Climate change and environmental anthropology in the group Environmental Anthropology
"I thought of two general approaches (just out of my head): - Study social, cultural and physical processes following climate change (with people currently experiencing such change, or still carrying a memory of a past event). - Study the idea of…"

"Thanks everyone! I did manage to improvise a like-tasting drink before (from vague descriptions of Airag and Kumiss making) but still wish to find a good, reliable, repeatable method =) My one more-successful attempt used organic milk, with added…"

Ariel Appel replied to ESWARAPPA KASI's discussion Environmental Anthropology-Needs a look now in the group Environmental Anthropology
"I'm still a BA student (studying anthropology combined with environmental studies), but Environmental Anthropology is my main current focus and future direction of interest. I strongly believe a point-of-view centered on the relationship…"

Ariel Appel commented on Grégory Delaplace's group Mongolia and the Mongols
"Not exactly an anthropological question... so feel free to delete it if you find it inappropriate. Does anyone have a good recipe for Airag (preferably with cow milk as a substitute for mare milk)? The drink isn't well known outside Mongolia,…"
