Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the book-: This is a very attractive book with its wealth of beautiful illustrations, and the interest is great, whether told by Col. Howard Bury himself. The latter's knowledge of the Alps makes his portion a valuable contribution. The description of the monasteries, the beautiful type of their architecture shown in photographs, will be new to many. Of the Lamas themselves and their orderly system of government we find the same from one end of Tibet to the other. This will interest and prove instructive; readers will find they are not ignorant savages, but a people highly advanced in arts and education, and in many respects far more practical, united, and sensible than we are. Of course it is not new; much can be seen in Ladak and in the fine monastery of Himis near Leh, but what is new is the degree to which the tameness of wild animals and birds has been brought by the Buddhists living under the shadow of Mount Everest, markedly by those leading a hermit life in the Rongbuk Valley. About The Author -: Lieutenant-ColonelCharles Kenneth Howard-BuryDSO,DL,JP (18811963) was a British-Irishsoldier,explorer,botanistandConservativepoliticianAt the behest ofSir Francis Younghusbandin 1920, Howard-Bury successfully paved the way for the Everest Expedition. In 1921 he was the leader of theMount Everest Reconnaissance Expedition, organised and financed by theMount Everest Committee, a joint body of theAlpine Cluband theRoyal Geographical Society. In 1922 he wrote a full account of the expedition, published as "Mount Everest The Reconnaissance, 1921' He was awarded the 1922Founder's Gold Medalof theRoyal Geographical Societyfor his leadership of the expedition.
