Title: Sikkim
Himalaya – Travels in the Cloud Kingdom Author:
David Lang Here’s the
first coffee-table guide to this beautiful former Himalayan
kingdom, which is now part of India. David Lang – amateur botanist,
retired vet,
idiosyncratic Englishman – has explored valleys not visited by Western
naturalists for more than a hundred years. His vivid text brings us
the history,
geography and culture of Sikkim, together with colourful accounts of
four eventful
journeys in search of the region’s glorious flora and fauna.
The book includes attractive maps, more than 300 colour photographs
and a
specially commissioned article by Mohan Pradhan on the forest orchids
of Sikkim.
It’s the essential companion for anyone intending to discover this
lovely
country and its people at first hand, but it’s also a great read for those who
must reluctantly settle for enjoying it at a distance.
Sikkim’s snow-covered peaks, flower-filled meadows and gorgeously
decorated
Buddhist temples remain unknown even to many who live within easy
reach of its
borders. This book is a stunning introduction.
David Lang is the author of five previous books, including 'A Guide to
the
Orchids of Great Britain and Ireland’, ‘The Complete Book of British Berries’
and ‘The Wild Flower Finder’s Calendar’. |
