Reviewer: Cavex from Tacoma, WA/USA
Most guidebooks for birders are very general in their descriptions of the birds. "Birds of Bhutan" tells you when and where in the country you can view them. Includes endangered and endemic species. Beautifully detailed showing all varieties, this book is Written very specifically about Bhutan Birds buts still gives information about where in Asia these birds range. This Book is a must have!

Reviewer: Rebecca from Massachusetts
Returning from my first visit to Bhutan in November, 1999, I searched for a book which genuinely captures the beauty and uniqueness of this Himalayan Buddhist kingdom and her people. The combination of Dompnier's stunning photography and thoughtful text are more than I had hoped to find. For anyone interested in learning about a people and culture unlike any other on this planet, I highly recommend this book. Personally, it serves me well to keep alive cherished memories of a place I know I will visit again...

Editorial Reviews
An engaging true story of a young American snowboarder who seeks "the ultimate high" in the Himalayas. But he stumbles on an experience more thrilling than he can anticipate when he becomes a spiritual apprentice to a Buddhist monk...and therein lies the tale... --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Lynn Andrews, author of Medicine Woman
A magnificent journey to the mountain within. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Midwest Book Review
In search of his spiritual roots, an American who journeys to the Himalayas for the ultimate snowboarding meets a Buddhist Monk and finds his life transformed. This tells of the young man's unexpected encounter with spiritual enlightenment, and is based on Dr. Lenz's own experiences in Nepal. Written as a novel, it's especially recommended for those interested in spiritual journeys. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

Phil Jackson, head coach, Chicago Bulls
Brings levity and humor to a subject often relegated to a mundane, boring prospect. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this title

My Quest for Yeti : Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery

Reinhold Messner, the famed Italian, Sud-Tyrolean alpinist, has spent much of three decades climbing in the Himalayas--and, as it turns out, looking along the way for evidence of the yeti, the legendary, supposedly humanoid inhabitant of the high mountains. Messner writes of having encountered "an apparition" at the Tibetan headwaters of the Mekong River. Remembering a photograph of a mysteriously shaped footprint that Eric Shipton had taken years earlier, Messner began to collect evidence--tracks, eerie cries and whistles, fleeting glimpses--of the fabled abominable snowman. With that mounting evidence, he writes, "the mountains that I knew so well now seemed smothered in mystery." Of the yeti's existence, the climber has no doubt; his pages are taken up by his quest for plausible answers as to the creature's real identity. He writes of possibilities that many scientists have discounted--for instance, that the yeti may be a kind of ape, or perhaps a long-diverged species of bear--dismissing knee-jerk unbelievers with an impatient wave, and turning in a lively natural history of an unknown being.

With this memoir, Messner is in good literary company--Peter Matthiessen and Slavomir Rawicz, among others, have written of high-mountain encounters with yetis--and in fine form. Readers with an interest in cryptozoology and mountaineering alike will delight in his findings. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description
Universally acknowledged as the greatest living mountain climber-the first to reach the top of Mount Everest without the use of oxygen, the first to ascend all of the world's highest peaks-Reinhold Messner is without peer in his knowledge of the Himalayas. He has scaled nearly every peak and descended nearly every valley in this region of towering danger, stark beauty and endless challenge. Yet in 1986, during a solo climb in eastern Tibet, Messner confronted the greatest terror of his...

Excerpted from My Quest for Yeti by Reinhold Messner.
Making my way through some ash-colored junipers, I suddenly heard an eerie sound-a histling noise, similar to the warning call mountain goats make. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the outline of a upright figure dart between the trees to the edge of the clearing, where low-growing thickets covered the steep slope...The creature towered menacingly, its face a gray shadow, its body a blck outline. Covered with hair, it stood upright on two short legs and had powerful arms that hung down almost to...
