Description
 
The current situation in Tibet is split by infinite contradictions where new social
realities must be reconciled with ancient traditions, oracles still relay
the voices of the mountain gods, and Buddhist monks strenuously defend their religion. This book leads the reader through a maze of geographical, geological, mythical, historical, social and religious details to portray the everyday life of Tibetan people. Lavish photographs reveal a blend of tradition and modernity, from remote nomadic tents to the cybercafes of
Lhasa.
