Zustand: Minor rubbing. VG. New Edition. orig.wrappers Minor rubbing. VG. 20x17cm, xx,207 pp., PAPERBACK.

These have been attracted by the interest of its physical situation at high altitude in the rain-shadow of the geologically active Himalaya; by the natural ecology of this rugged desert and the skillful adaptations of pastoralism and agriculture; by the sociology, history and cultural tradition, especially as a surviving example of Tibetan Buddhism; and by the problems presented by modern development and conservation" (No. 3, p. 2).…
