Description
More rugged and elevated than any other zone on earth, Him�alaya embraces all of Tibet, plus six of the world's eight major mountain ranges and nearly all its highest peaks. Thirty-five percent of the global population depend on Him�alaya's freshwater for crop irrigation, protein, and, increasingly, hydropower. It now sits seismically unstable, as tectonic plates consider to shift and the region remains gridlocked in a global debate surrounding climate change. Keay shows that, without our commitment to an ethos of respect for it confounding, fascinating features, Him�alaya will soon cease to exist. -- adapted from jacket.
