2020BIBHB0043196872020. Hardcover. New. About the Book:-The author has intended to write a somewhat dealing with the technical volume scientific results of his journey through Tibet with special thorough reference to anthropology both physical and social. It was interesting to be forced to see Tibet and the Tibetans from the Tibetan point of view to live as a Tibetan for months when a false word or act would have given him away to be forced to study their quaint customs not merely from a dry dull scientific standpoint but also that he might journey among without being detected. He has tried to describe some of the varied experiences which he encountered during his secret expedition to the sacred city and also weave through the record a general but accurate description of manners and customs and beliefs including some of the extraordinary institutions which exist in the government of Lhasa. Finally he gives an adequate description of the great transformation which has taken place in Tibet the last few years so that he hopes it can be claimed that his book gives to the general public its first exact information concerning the present diplomatic political military and industrial situation in a country which occupies such an important strategic center that it is of interest to all students of Asiastic and world affairs. The book also contains about 65 illustrations and three maps to make it more interesting.
