Product Description
This is photojournalist Galen Rowell's acclaimed portrait of the mountain lands of China and Tibet -- a realm the Chinese call the "middle kingdom" between earth and sky, higher and more remote than anywhere else on earth. Rowell's text sets his own adventures in this exotic region against a rich historical and cultural background, recreating the exploits of and describing the dramatic changes that recent years have wrought on Chinese life and society. From the palaces of Lhasa to the pristine strongholds of the snow leopard, the 85 splendid color photographs and compelling narrative map a geography that stretches the bounds of imagination.

Beautiful book that offers a good introduction September 14, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
to China's mountains and its mountaineering history. The photographs in the book included some of the best from Rowell's portfolio and there's quite a bit of writing on the history and background of the mountains as well as from the Rowell's expedition to the mountains.
