..".Mathieu has done Alpine studies an immense service, collecting
an expansive body of research long divided along national,
linguistic, and disciplinary lines. As Mathieu accurately states,
'Quantitative history is sorely missing from Alpine research, ' and
this slim volume provides a very valuable resource for scholars who
wish to redress this lacuna."
Lee W. Holt, "H-Net Reviews""Mathieu's book demolishes widespread
cliches about the Alps, which seek to portray the Alpine region as
the complete reversal of society in lowland areas, or as a world
segregated from the rest of Europe."
