199081695Berkeley CA: University of California Press 1990. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. Galen Rowell Photographer. Format is approximately 9.25 inches by 13.5 inches. 6 162 pages. Introduction by Galen Rowell. Illustrations color. Maps. Nobel Peace Prize Citation. Chronology of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. Index. DJ has some wear tears and soiling. Signed by Galen Rowell on first page. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet. Galen Avery Rowell August 23 1940 - August 11 2002 was a wilderness photographer adventure photojournalist and climber. He became a full-time photographer in 1972. He pioneered a new kind of photography in which he was not merely an observer but considered himself a participant in the scenes that he photographed - he considered the landscape part of the adventure and the adventure part of the landscape. Rowell conceived a technical approach of extending the dynamic range to be captured on film. He developed a set of graduated neutral density filters and had them produced by Singh-Ray a filter manufacturer. They were sold under his name and became a standard for dealing with high contrast scenes. Galen Rowell also mastered the technique of using balanced fill flash which allowed him to lighten the deepest shadows in a subtle way to match the relatively narrow dynamic range of color reversal film. He won the Ansel Adams Award for Conservation Photography in 1984. One of the world's spiritual leaders and a renowned wilderness photographer combine their vision of Tibet in this stunningly beautiful book. Essays by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama appear with Galen Rowell's dramatic images in a moving presentation of the splendors of Tibet's revered but threatened heritage. When Chinese communist troops invaded Tibet in 1950 the author was fifteen years old and the spiritual and temporal ruler of a nation the size of western Europe. Tenzin Gyatso the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet appealed to the United Nations for help and then fled across the Himalaya in winter to a border town where he anxiously awaited political aid that never came. Like the mythical kingdom of Shangri-La Tibet had sought isolation from the rest of the world. Diplomatic relations and foreign visitors had been shunned and few people in the West knew what cultural and natural treasures lay threatened there. In the years that followed the Dalai Lama struggled to maintain peace in Tibet and to protect his people's ways but in 1959 he was forced to flee to India where he remains today. There he has established a government in exile in Dharamsala that has endeavored to preserve Tibetan culture while preparing for a peaceful return to a free Tibet. As the Chinese cautiously opened select Tibetan doors to visitors in the 1980s a sickening realization stole over the rest of the world: Tibet had been ravaged by the Chinese occupation. All but a dozen of Tibet's six thousand monasteries had been destroyed. Much of the once-bountiful wildlife had disappeared. A sixth of the population had perished. The picture seemed so bleak that many wondered whether there was anything worth saving in this wounded land. The Dalai Lama's heartening answer and Galen Rowell's magnificent photographs leave no doubt that the mystery and enchantment of Tibet though seriously endangered are still alive. To Tibetans the Dalai Lama is an incarnation of the Buddha of compassion. He has spent the last thirty years tirelessly advocating nonviolence and compassion to all living things as the answer to Tibet's plight. "My religion is simple" he says "my religion is kindness." My Tibet movingly elaborates this message: here the Dalai Lama offers his views on how world peace happiness and environmental responsibility are inextricably linked. He explains the meaning of pilgrimage for Tibetan Buddhists and gives an engaging account of his early life in Lhasa the capital of Tibet. In addition he reveals many sides to his nature' compassion profound faith common sense generosity a playful sense of humor in personal reflections matched here to 108 photographs of the land he hasn't seen since 1959. Together the breathtaking photographs which express Rowell's own commitment to the natural world and the Dalai Lama's observations help preserve the enduring meaning of Tibet's culture religion and natural heritage.

1744175883Madrid: Imprenta del Reyno 1744. One of three copies traced in commerce in 100 years First edition in Spanish expanded from the equally rare Italian edition of 1738 from the library of the distinguished historian-collector Sir Charles Ralph Boxer. Reporting on the 18th-century Capuchin missions to Tibet this text records some of the earliest European impressions of Tibet's cosmopolitan society and religious traditions. Members of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin travelled to Tibet in the early 18th century and had a presence in Lhasa for several extended periods over four decades until the collapse of the mission in the 1740s. Although published anonymously this report was written by Francesco Orazio della Penna 1680-1745 the leader of the mission and a skilled linguist who studied the language intensively for four years in a monastery and compiled the first Italian-Tibetan dictionary. He focuses on religious life reporting on the position and privileges of the Dalai Lama as well as on processions temples and holy law. For this edition the translator the Spanish polymath Antonio Maria Herrero added material including a report of Capuchin efforts to introduce moveable type printing in Tibetan. The type 1306 different pieces was cast in Rome and conveyed in 1741 to Lhasa where several books were successfully printed. Also of note is a reference on page 106 to Samuel van der Putte the Dutch explorer who resided in Lhasa in the 1730s and was the only lay westerner known to have been in Tibet during the 18th century. Boxer 1904-2000 "possessed an internationally known rare book collection which was seized by the Japanese in 1941 for the Imperial Library in Tokyo. After the war he was able to recover most of his books including the jewel of his collection the sixteenth-century 'Boxer codex' a manuscript with seventy-five drawings by an unknown Japanese or Chinese artist depicting the peoples of the China Sea" ODNB. He continued to add to his library and embarked on an academic career spanning two decades during which he wrote numerous works on Dutch and Portuguese maritime expansion especially in relation to East Asia. His distinctive red seal is found on the title page and his 23 December 1957 ink ownership signature is the front binder's blank. His ink notes on both binder's blanks including a reference to the sale of another copy for $250 in 1965 by the American bookdealers Lathrop Harper and the fact that the 1738 Italian edition had only 70 pages. Boxer recognized both the appeal and rarity of this edition: the Lilly library holds another example from his library perhaps that sold by Harper's.
