Explores in pictures and text the cultural history and religious practices that still pervade everyday life for the major ethnic groups that inhabit this remote and fascinating mountain country.
Gr 5-10-These attractive series titles, embellished with beautiful full-color photographs, present a wealth of information on topics from history and geography to ethnic groups, arts, and religion. These editions contain dozens of new pictures as well as updated information about population and politics from the 1990 originals. A chapter has been added about environmental concerns and the food chapters now include recipes from each country. In addition to the geopolitical map there are economic and cultural maps and information. A "Time Line" divided into two columns delineates what was happening in the country at certain dates in the left column, and in the rest of the world in the right. These easy-to-read texts are well organized, making them excellent additions for reports.-Be Astengo, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

Nepal
My father-in-law gave me this book as a gift in preparation for an upcoming trip to the country where he was born. He found a used copy on Amazon as he thinks it is out of print. He says he sought it out because it is his favorite book on Nepal.
It was published in 1993 so some of the information may be out of date. I would not rely on it by itself for a guide book to use on a trip, but I would highly recommend it as a rich complement to an up-to-date guide book such a Lonely Planet.
Its strengths are the narrative sections on history, ethnic and cultural groups, festivals and holidays, and religion, the photos, the sidebars on various topics such as the Khampas guerilla resistance movement or the life of the Buddha, and the walkthroughs of things to see in various regions.
A weakness would be the maps. Many of the sites described in the book do not appear on the maps - something I found frustrating but easily fixed with the help of Google Earth.
