A propos de cet article

The world-renowned explorer Andrew Wilson shares his experiences climbing some of the tallest, most dangerous peaks in the Himalayas. Dark blue linen cover with gold foil writing on the spine. This edition was intended for circulation in Asia. Printed by Ratna Pustak Bhandar in Nepal in 1979 as part of Hal Kuloy s Bibliotheca Himalayica series (series 1, volume 12). The purpose of Bibliotheca Himalayica is to make available works on the civilizations and nature of Central Asia and the Himalayas. Five illustrations not included in the original 1885 edition have been included in this edition. Good condition. No writing on or torn pages. Some cracking on the spine at front and back inside covers. Please review the photos as they form an important part of the description. I am able to send additional photos as requested. The current owner, anthropologist and writer Don Messerschmidt, PhD, is known for his research and writings on the Himalayas and related topics. He has published books and articles internationally since the 1960s when he first lived in Nepal as an American Peace Corps volunteer. He went on to enhance his understanding of Himalayan peoples and places as an independent researcher and on numerous consultancies. For over a half-century, he has been engaged in field studies, university professorships, and writing about the rich cultures of Bhutan, Nepal, North India, and Tibet. Along the way, he amassed an extensive library of Himalayan studies and has written several of his own, including two prize-winners. He has also been an editor for two regional magazines and has been called upon to review and pen chapters and forewords for Himalayan-oriented publications.…
