Written by Schicklgruber, Christian ; Francoise Pommaret (Eds.)

The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, a country the size of Switzerland with a population of around 600,000, is presented in this book through the eyes of nine western and Bhutanese academics. The text first presents the heritage of this last-surviving Mahayana Buddhist kingdom, its topography, fauna and flora, and its ethnic and linguistic diversity.
