Himalaya

Exploring the Roof of the World

John Keay

Experience the beauty and peril of the Himalaya in this groundbreaking book that explores how climate change is affecting one of the world's most unique regions. Encompassing all of Tibet and six of the world's major mountain ranges, the Himalaya is home to 35% of the world's freshwater and is critical to the livelihoods of millions of people. But with a fragmented political landscape and no unified approach to addressing environmental risks, this region is at risk of disappearing forever. Through the eyes of historian John Keay, discover the rich history and remarkable diversity of this fascinating region and learn why it's essential that we take action to protect it.
