Himalaya: A Human History Hardcover -
by Ed Douglas
A magisterial history of the Himalaya: an epic story of peoples, cultures, and adventures among the world's highest mountains.
From the rear cover
The Himalaya are shrouded in their stories, like monsoon clouds: stories of secret knowledge and new horizons, about somewhere at the end of things, somewhere beyond. These myths hardly ever recognised the complexity and richness of the cultures that developed there over millennia, as varied as the mountains that shaped them. Those cultures were either ignored or appropriated by outsiders looking to profit. That tension, between myth and reality, still tears at the Himalaya today.
--From Chapter 1
