| Natural History Handbook for the Wild Side of Everest: The Eastern Himalaya and Makalu-Barun Area by Frances Klatzel 2001, x, 194 pp., 66 colour and 112 b&w drawings, species lists, glossary, softbound, 21.5 x 15 cm. ISBN 99933-113-0-8 $14.50 ISBN-13: 978-99933-113-0-0 From tropical forests along the Arun River to the icy summits towering above, the Makalu-Barun National Park is the only protected area on earth with an elevation gain of over 8,000 m, rising from 400 m to 8,800 m above sea level within 30 km. As a result of this steep terrain, this area has almost every bio-climatic zone of the Eastern Himalayas. The factors that create the range of conditions allowing such diversity are explained, and followed by descriptions and illustrations of a rich sampling of the great variety of trees, shrubs, flowers, birds and mammal living in this spectacular region. Although this field guide was prepared for the Makalu-Barun area, it is applicable to all of the Eastern Himalaya. |

It tells the story of life in Dolpo through the eyes of Namsel, a young girl who grows up to be a great painter several centuries ago. Dolpo is one of the world's highest settled area, a region culturally like Tibet but located within the nation of Nepal. Tenzin Norbu, the artist whose paintings illustrate this book, comes from a long line of temple painters. One of the famous painters in Norbu's family history was a woman like Namsel, the main character of the book. |
