Description: "Photographer William R. Chapman reveals the splendor and intricacies of Tibetan life in this collection of color photographs. Chapman celebrates the mountains and the Plateau of Tibet, the Forbidden City of Lhasa, the countryside, religious life, and the people in this singularly beautiful but troubled land.

Over the course of five years, Chapman lived in monasteries, camped with nomads, and trekked great mountain ranges, becoming intimately acquainted with the people and culture of this isolated and enchanting country.".

"The Face of Tibet invites us to this mysterious and astounding place, to a rugged landscape molded by ancient history and inhabited by a modern people struggling against political oppression. William Chapman's commentary accompanies his color photographs that pay tribute to the majesty of the landscape and the uniqueness of the Tibetan people."--BOOK JACKET.
