Synopsis In the Circle of White Stones by : Gillian G. Tan
This narrative of subsistence on the Tibetan plateau describes the life-worlds of people in a region traditionally known as Kham who move with their yaks from pasture to pasture, depending on the milk production of their herd for sustenance. Gillian Tan’s story, based on her own experience of living through seasonal cycles with the people of Dora Karmo between 2006 and 2013, examines the community’s powerful relationship with a Buddhist lama and their interactions with external agents of change. In showing how they perceive their environment and dwell in their world, Tan conveys a spare beauty that honors the stillness and rhythms of nomadic life.

Synopsis Tibet's Hidden Wilderness by :
In 1988, Schaller became the first Westerner permitted to explore the Chang Tang. Largely because of his work and the work of his colleagues, the Chinese government has set aside more than 125,000 square miles of this high-altitude terrain as a reserve--the second largest in the world. Schaller's photos and essays introduce the majestic landscape, extraordinary wildlife, and traditional nomadic society of this remote region. He concludes with a plan that would allow the people and animals there to continue to live in harmony. 10.75x10". Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Synopsis On the Margins of Tibet by : Ashild Kolas
The state of Tibetan culture within contemporary China is a highly politicized topic on which reliable information is rare. Based on fieldwork and interviews conducted between 1998 and 2000 in China's Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures, this book investigates the present conditions of Tibetan cultural life and cultural expression.
