"This comprehensive survey traces the evolution of Tibetan culture from its sixth-century pre-Buddhist origins, through the establishment of Buddhism, to Tibet's fall to the Chinese Communists in 1959 and the ensuing relocation of Tibetan culture and many Tibetan people.
Many aspects of Tibetan culture are discussed, including the geography of Tibet, religion, artistic and literary development, and contemporary Tibetan politics. In discussing the history of this Central Asian civilization, parallels are drawn with the structure of life in Western Europe as well as with assimilation of culture from India and China. The text is illustrated with many rare photographs depicting aspects of Tibetan life."
