Description: "A Painter's Year in the Forests of Bhutan records one man's journey into the little-known culture of Bhutan. Illustrated with paintings of more than 100 rarely seen Bhutanese plants, this sensitive volume captures the beauty of a largely untouched land and its people. When A. K. Hellum travelled to Bhutan to consult on a forest management project, he left a wiser man. His gently meandering narrative pauses to meditate on the mysteries of the ordinary as revealed in the natural world."--BOOK JACKET.
