Synopsis
Superb snow-clad mountains, high-altitude deserts populated by yaks and nomads, bridges suspended over swirling rivers, majestic monasteries striving to preserve ancient traditions, a world of magic and sacredness-these are some of the images of Tibet, often referred to as the "roof of the world." This book is a comprehensive, colorful exploration of this land and its deeply spiritual people. Using rare historical maps and photographs, as well as splendid modern images, the author takes the reader on a journey through the history and religion, the geology and geography, and the troubled contemporary realities of a country trying to preserve its civilization in the face of values imposed from outside.

    The only dealer who was able to confirm that a CD included in the book was still present. Copy in near mint condition and packed well ( not thrown into a flimsy bubble bag). Very positive transaction!
