Descripción Pictorial Boards. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Illustrated Ilustrador. 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.
