Mountains, as the highest and most majestic features of landscapes, inspire us, and evoke feelings of reverence and awe. The Himalaya in particular excel in this respect, with even photos stirring those who have never experienced them personally. To those who have wandered, trekked or climbed in the area known to many as ?Roof of the World?, this beautifully-crafted book will come as a welcome fireside friend who restores memories of magical time spent in the Himalaya. This book of narratives by well-known personalities, with photographs by acclaimed photographers, is not only a celebration of these mountains and their peoples, but it is a challenge to all of us for the future wellbeing of the mountain range, its resources and its cultures.
