Tibetan Pilgrimage: Architecture of the Sacred Land
Michel Peissel-explorer, anthropologist, author, and remarkable artist-has dedicated his life to investigating Tibet's remotest regions. In the course of 29 expeditions, he became the first anthropologist to study the small kingdom of Mustang, eastern Bhutan, Zanskar, and the kingdom of Nangchen, where, in 1994, he discovered the elusive historical source of the Mekong River. A Frenchman educated in England and the United States, he has written 19 books in English about his expeditions, including such international best-sellers asMustang: the Forbidden KingdomandCavaliers of Kham: the Secret War in Tibet.
