Description
|
|
|
|
Presented in color photographs, captions, and a detailed narrative travelogue, this book depicts the staggering beauty and diversity of Tibet, from Mount Everest to the world's deepest gorge, from tropical jungles to arctic-like tundra, from trees 20 feet in diameter to vast herds and solitary specimens of some of the least-known animals on the planet. Certain images, like those of a newborn Tibetan antelope or the elusive red ghoral, are among the first ever taken of these subjects. The book mines American, Tibetan, and Chinese scholarship to create a natural history of Tibet, and also describes an extraordinary conservation effort there that has set aside 40 percent of Tibet's land for nature preserves.
