Pictorial Boards. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. No edition stated (1998). Pictorial boards, 96 pp. Illustrated throughout in color. New in dustjacket, protected with a mylar cover. Thrusting up where the Indian subcontinent is slowly crashing into Asia, the Himalayas form an arc some 2,400 kilometers long, along both sides of which human responses of veneration, awe, and spiritual resonance have also arisen. The Sanskrit and Tibetan names given to some of these peaks—Annapurna, the Giver of Life; Chomolungma (Everest), the Goddess Mother of the Earth—indicate that they are perceived as much more than geological formations. The striking color photographs in this book, along with a wide-ranging text, tour these regions and their cultures, documenting the feats of mountaineers, pilgrims, and soldiers who have braved these heights as well as the customs of those who live in the Himalayas' shadow. Illustrated (illustrator).…

Pictorial Boards. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. First Edition. First Edition. Folio. Pictorial boards, 95 pp. illustrated throughout with color photographs. As new in dustjacket, mylar cover. Dharamsala—literally, a place for shelter—is a city seemingly predestined to serve as the headquarters of the government-in-exile of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. A tiny dot on the eastern Indian landscape, founded as a hill station by the British in 1846, Dharamsala is steeped in both Indian and Tibetan history, and today boasts a cosmopolitan populace. The colorful photographs here of the land and its people, along with a warmly personal text, portray the determination of the Tibetans to preserve their culture and identity. Realizing that they would not return to their homeland soon, the Dalai Lama and his followers built temples and monasteries, libraries and markets, and, as India's Jawaharlal Nehru counseled, ensured their nation's survival through the education of their children.…

Pictorial Boards. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. First American Edition. Torrance: Heian, 2000. First American edition. 4to. Pictorial boards. 125 pp., illustrated throughout. As new in dustjacket, protected with a mylar cover. Beautifully illustrated with color photographs and archival photos, this book traces the history of the Dalai Lamas back to Gedun Drub, the First Dalai Lama, in the 15th century. With their origins in the union of Mongol might with Tibetan wisdom (dalai is the Mongol word for ocean, lama the Tibetan for teacher, hence "ocean of wisdom"), the Dalai Lamas instituted an Asian power structure of religious leaders with military patronage, and often with temporal power over their homeland as well. Looking at Tibetan history in various contexts, the book provides capsule histories of each Dalai Lama, focusing on the achievements and leadership qualities of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama, The Great Thirteenth, and the Nobel Prize-winning Fourteenth, who, though forced into exile in India by Chinese communists, has managed to both create a global power base for Tibetan Buddhism and to fast-forward the medieval structure of Tibetan leadership into a modern, democratic system.
