Review


"From the plains of the Brahmaputra River, the home of the Great Indian Rhinoceros, up through the evergreen and coniferous forests to the alpine meadows, and finally to the sublime peaks and glaciers, this book celebrates scenic splendor and the glorious variety of plants and animals." -
George Schaller (Panthera and Wildlife Conservation Society) --Himayala Book Press Release

"The text and photographs of this book capture the sheer beauty of the Himalaya at every scale, from the intricate detail of a moth's wing to the sweep of vast alpine landscapes." -
Rohini Nilekani (Chairperson, Arghyam) --Himayala Book Press Release

"Through the combination of visual and textual material, readers will be able to understand the richness of Eastern Himalayan life and the importance of conserving it both for its own sake and because it collectively forms the basis for continued human existence." -
