About This Item
Allen & Unwin, Australia, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. This book chronicles a quarter of a century of explorer Wong How Man's Inner Asian expeditions, providing a rare glimpse of ethnic groups whose lives and customs mirror the enchanting yet sometimes brutal environments in which they live. Here in the hinterlands of Asia, from Manchuria and Mongolia to the Silk Road and Tibetan Plateau, traditions carry on as they have for centuries, as modernisation slowly makes its way to what Wong calls the 'Backyard of Asia'.From Mongolia to Tibet transcends political boundaries to focus on the diversity and interconnectedness of unique peoples in beautifully unusual landscapes. More than a photoessay, this publication delves into the history, traditions, stories and dreams of colourful indigenous peoples and their surroundings, often in formidable terrain.The author has spent 25 years focused on these remote areas of Inner Asia, where few foreigners tread. He has recorded the last of many vanishing traditions, among these ethnic minorities, who have lived bravely in the challenging environment around them. 232 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
