MOUNT EVEREST - The First Expedition of 1921 (Illustrated Edition) Account of the Reconnaissance Expedition to Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Charles Kenneth Howard-Bury ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition set off to explore how it might be possible to get to the vicinity of Mount Everest, to reconnoiter possible routes for ascending the mountain, and ? if possible ? make the first ascent of the highest mountain in the world. A feasible route was discovered from the east up the Kharta Glacier and then crossing the Lhakpa La pass north east of Everest. It was then necessary to descend to the East Rongbuk Glacier before climbing again to Everest's North Col. Initially the expedition explored from the north and discovered the main Rongbuk Glacier, only to find that it seemed to provide no likely routes to the summit. However, at the time it was not realised that the East Rongbuk glacier actually flowed into the Rongbuk glacier ? it was thought it descended away to the east. As a reconnaissance the expedition was a success because it determined that a good route might be to approach the East Rongbuk glacier via the Rongbuk glacier, and then follow the North Col route to the summit.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Cold War in the Himalayas Multinational Perspectives on the Sino-Indian Border Conflict, 1950-1970【電子書籍】[ Reed Chervin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Extensive in scope and drawing on newly available evidence from multinational archives, this book reconsiders Sino-Indian border issues during the middle Cold War using multiple established analytical frameworks. It demonstrates how key countries perceived and engaged with the border conflict by aiding the two main participants morally and materially. Before, during, and after the 1962 Sino-Indian border war, multinational political actors pursued their foreign policy goals (e.g., trade, security, and prestige) concerning the frontier, and often tried to destabilize spheres of influence and bolster alliances. Therefore, this contest signified a variation of the Anglo-Russian Great Game in Asia during the nineteenth century, and the theater of operations encompassed not only the border itself, but also the Himalayan kingdoms, Tibet, and Burma. A reevaluation of the border conflict between India and China is necessary given current, ongoing clashes at their still unresolved border as well as the fact that these two countries now possess enhanced technology and weapons.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Water, Cryosphere, and Climate Change in the Himalayas A Geospatial Approach【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This edited book summarizes numerous research studies on remote sensing and GIS of natural resource management for the Himalaya region done by Indian Institutions and Universities over the last decade. It gives an overview of hydrometeorological studies on Himalayan water resources and addresses concerns in the development of water resources in this region, which is dealing with an increased pressure in population, industrialization and economic development.</p> <p>While the source of some of the major rivers of India are found in the Himalayas, the glaciers and water bodies in the region are continuously shrinking leading to a depletion of water and deterioration of water quality. This is affecting a population of up to 2.5 billion people. The ecosystems have been under threat due to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, expansion of agriculture and settlement, overexploitation of natural resources, habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, mining, construction of roads and large dams, and unplanned tourism. Spaceborne remote sensing with its ability to provide synoptic and repetitive coverage has emerged as a powerful tool for assessment and monitoring of the Himalayan resources and phenomena.</p> <p>This work serves as a resource to students, researchers, scientists, professionals, and policy makers both in India and on a global level.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains Architecture, Religion, and Nature in the Central Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Nachiket Chanchani ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage.</p> <p>Nachiket Chanchani’s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range’s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. <em>Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains</em> also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.</p> <p>Art History Publication Initiative.

Hard Road to Nirvana, A Solo Bicycle Journey Through Tibet and Along the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Matthew Cull ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Starting in Yunnan Province of southern China, Matthew cycled alone, unsupported, and without the necessary permits, into the mountains of Tibet. Cycling roads that varied from smooth pavement to rough rocks and cobbles, he climbed high snow covered passes, crossed through deep arid canyons, and cycled past police checkpoints at night to avoid detection. His tortuous path eventually led him to Tibet’s capital, Lhasa, where he trekked through the surrounding mountains, explored its monasteries, and delved into the Tibetan Buddhist culture and its tragic relationship with its modern day overlords. His journey continued past Everest base camp and dropped into the verdant green of Nepal. Matthew continued west on the baking, chaotic plains of India before turning north, cycling deeper into the mountains, over ever higher passes, to Ladakh, to finish on the edge of the Muslim world, on the India-Pakistan cease fire line.</p> <p>Hard Road to Nirvana is a story of a supremely difficult journey of harsh roads, high altitude, climatic extremes, and trying human circumstances. Yet it is also a thoughtful exploration of the Tibetan Buddhist lands, its people, culture, religion, landscape, and its modern day situation. It is a grand solo journey, a hard-won pilgrimage, through a dramatic and beautiful, yet unforgiving landscape, told with perspective, sensitivity, and insight.<br /> Includes 14 photographs and a map</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Climate Change in the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ G. B. Pant ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book analyzes the issues associated with climate change in the Himalayas. The purpose of choosing the Himalayas as a focus is because it is a particularly fragile mountain system, highly sensitive to climate change impacts, and it contains one of the largest human populations affected by climate change. The book provides extensive data and information regarding the climate history of the Himalayas, and the current effects of climate change on Himalayan weather systems, and on human and animal populations in the region.</p> <p>The book begins with an overview of global climate change with discussions of data trends and international initiatives, then segues into a history of climate changes and weather trends in the Himalayas. Weather systems of the Himalayas, both past and current, are analyzed and detailed through climate models, seasonal observations of weather fronts, and overviews of various climate scenarios. The book then discusses climate change impacts and signat</p> <p>ures specific to the Central Himalayan region, where the largest effects of impacts are observed. Readers will discover analysis presented on water resources, meteorological changes, biodiversity, agriculture and human health along with perspectives of management and policy. This book will appeal to researchers studying climate science, climatology, environmental scientists and policymakers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mountain Goddesses of the Himalayas, Four True Experiences, A Memoir【電子書籍】[ M.G. Hawking ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The author, explorer M.G. Hawking, spent sixty-two months in the Great Range of the Himalaya, during which time he and his companions experienced three encounters with beings they believe to have been the true "Mountain Goddesses" of ancient Tibetan and Himalayan legends. Experience these extraordinary encounters and the profound wisdom they revealed.</p> <p>Whoーor whatーare the "mountain goddesses"? Throughout Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and the Himalayan regions of India, there have endured extraordinary ancient legends of "extraterrestrial" beings said to have come from "another world" and who, having arrived in an antediluvian era of prehistory, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the immense wilderness of the Himalayas. The earliest known reference to the Himalayan extraterrestrials appears in the scriptures of the 4000 year-old pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, yet further references exist across a number of ancient traditions, including the pre-Buddhist B'on treaties from the Himalayan region of Nepal, and in wisdom traditions throughout Asia.</p> <p>Are these ubiquitous legends merely myths? Or are they representative of some vaguely remembered reality passed down through generations beyond count? Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient legends and, in light of today's astronomical knowledge, they cannot be easilyーor wiselyーdismissed. Data from the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that, rather than the previously estimated 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe, there are more than two trillion galaxies (JPL, Oct 2016). To put this in perspective, if you hold a single grain of sand at arm's length against the night sky, the tiny patch of sky it hides contains more than 100,000 galaxiesーnot 100,000 stars, 100,000 galaxies. These range in size from dwarf galaxies with a few billion stars to giant galaxies with 100 trillion stars.</p> <p>The incomprehensible immensity of our universe inspires a deep sense of aweーand inspires as well many questions. What's really out there? Clearly, the number of stars in our universe is beyond the mind of man to number, but what about planets? As of late-2023, NASA had verified the existence of over 5,557 exoplanets, that is, planets orbiting other stars in our Milky Way galaxy. "It's very exciting," said NASA's Dr. William Kinney. "It opens up the universe. Now we know that we're just one of billions and billions of small worlds that are very much like ours. If you extrapolate that to our galaxy as a whole, the calculation based on the Kepler data is that there are around 40 billion planets in the Milky Way alone."</p> <p>Transcribed directly from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking's five years in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, this book contains detailed narratives of the encounters and conversations the author and his companions had with the actual, legendary Himalayan "mountain" or "celestial goddesses," as the Tibetan term translates. During their second and third encounters, the celestials disclosed profound intelligence about our universe, our planet, and our true nature, wisdom that can greatly assist in understanding ourselves, our world, and our role and power in creating precisely the life we desire.</p> <p>An incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and deeply rewarding for those fascinated with the ancient accounts of extraterrestrial influences. 2025 Edition, e-reader page count 317 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). For more information, please see the preview feature on the bookseller's page. Thank you.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

WILD in the Himalayas. Loves and tragedies from Paris to Kathmandu. (Travel)【電子書籍】[ Francisco Po Egea ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>“What am I doing with my life? I am about to turn 40, so I still have the other half left. And I want to live, to live.”<br /> A radical change. Francisco quits his profession as a high executive in a multinational company, flies to Nepal and embarks on a six-month adventure across the Himalayan Mountains. At the end of his trip, he meets a dying mountaineer with whom he will share the next eleven days, suffering through among furious storms and eternal snows, while waiting for rescue. It is a time of reflection, remembering those unique experiences and moments which have made him who he is now.<br /> Adventures, love and erotism, travels and exoticism in this autobiographical novel based on his own life. From his childhood in post-civil war Spain and his encounter with the republican guerrillas to his first tastes of freedom as a young man in a bohemian Paris. From his life as a high executive and his great romances to his adventures in Kashmir, Ladakh, India and Nepal, his encounter with the world of drugs in Kathmandu and his journey across the Himalayas, loves and tragedies included.<br /> The readers have said:<br /> "I have just read your story and it captured my imagination, I could barely put it down. I finished it in 3 days - good for me. It was an enthralling, engaging and occasionally moving tale. You certainly kept your souvenirs pristine and your writing, with so many references and quotations expertly inserted from the greatest writers along with your thought-provoking phrases and ideas, was of the highest order." Richard B.<br /> "I have just finished reading your book which I thoroughly enjoyed! I loved how you knitted together the theme of your rescue of “Jack” with your reflections on the mountains, nature, culture and philosophy, mixed with stories of the loves of your life. You had the courage to abandon the world of “managerialism” and to reinvent the nature and quality of your life. Bravo and thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts in your delightful book!" David G.<br /> "Your book left me puzzled: In the end, I could not decide, which of the two you love more, the mountains or the women? Yet you gave the answer anyhow: One can love both with the same intensity, without taking away anything from the other. I was really touched by the gentle, respectful and caring tone of the portraits of you different girls/women/female friends and finally wife." Stefan C.<br /> "This is a great read, hard to put down if you like travel, adventure and love. The story, beautifully written, of a middle aged executive moving to the foothills of the Himalaya and running into extreme circumstances is very moving when he remembers his past love life and the lovers he has left behind."

Limitless Sky Life lessons from the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ David Charles Manners ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This is the remarkable true story of a young man's initiation in the Himalayas. David Manners was trekking in Nepal when he stumbled upon the mountain home of a <em>jhankri,</em> or Nepalese shaman. The <em>jhankri</em> accepted David as his pupil, and so began the next stage of David's extraordinary journey, in which he embarked upon an adventure that was more challenging and, ultimately, life-affirming than anything he could have imagined.</p> <p>In <em>Limitless Sky</em>, David shares the wisdom and insights he learnt from those transformational days in the Himalayas. These include practical guidance on how to live a full and fearless life, how to find happiness and how to live in ways that nurture both ourselves and others. As David reveals, the life lessons he learned amongst the mountains of the Himalayas could benefit us all today.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This text examines elite-insecurity perceptions in India, Pakistan and the USA in the 1950s. The book highlights the consequent linkages in alliance-building efforts and the subsequent triangular covert collaboration against Communist China, especially along Tibet's Himalayan frontiers. This secret alliance had an unexpected fall-out on the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan. Lastly the book examines the divergence of Indo-Pakistani security policies along fundamental cleavages since the 1960s.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mobile Lifeworlds An Ethnography of Tourism and Pilgrimage in the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Christopher A. Howard ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Mobile Lifeworlds illustrates how the imaginaries and ideals of Western travellers, especially those of untouched nature and spiritual enlightenment, are consistent with media representations of the Himalayan region, romanticism and modernity at large. Blending tourism and pilgrimage, travel across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and Northern India is often inspired and oriented by a search for authenticity, adventure and Otherness. Such valued ideals are shown, however, to be contested by the very forces and configurations that enable global mobility.</p> <p>The role ubiquitous media and mobile technologies now play in framing travel experiences are explored, revealing a situation in which actors are neither here nor there, but increasingly are ‘inter-placed’ across planetary landscapes. Beyond institutionalised religious contexts and the visiting of sacred sites, the author shows how a secular religiosity manifests in practical, bodily encounters with foreign environments. This book is unique in that it draws on a dynamic and innovative set of disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, especially phenomenology, the mobilities paradigm and philosophical anthropology. The volume breaks fresh ground in pilgrimage, tourism and travel studies by unfolding the complex relationships between the virtual, imaginary and corporeal dynamics of contemporary mobile lifeworlds.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Caring for Glaciers Land, Animals, and Humanity in the Himalayas【電子書籍】[ Karine Gagn? ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Regional geopolitical processes have turned the Himalayan region of Ladakh, in northwest India, into a strategic border area with an increasing military presence that has decentered the traditional agropastoralist economy. This in turn has led to social fragmentation, the growing isolation of elders, and ethical dilemmas for those who strive to maintain traditional subsistence activities. Simultaneously, climate change is causing glaciersーa vital source of life in the regionーto recede, which elders perceive as the consequence of a broken bond with the natural environment and the deities that inhabit the landscape.</p> <p><em>Caring for Glaciers</em> looks at the causes and consequences of ongoing social and cultural change in peoples’ relationship with the natural environment. It illuminates how relations of reciprocity - learned through everyday life and work in the mountains with the animals, glaciers, and deities that form Ladakh’s sacred geography - shape and nurture an ethics of care. Integrating contemporary studies of affect, landscape, and multispecies anthropology, <em>Caring for Glaciers</em> contributes to the anthropology of ethics by examining the moral order that develops through the embodied experience of life and work in the Himalayas.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Rising India and China Strategic Rivalry in the Himalayas and the Indo-Pacific, Volume 1【電子書籍】[ B. R. Deepak ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of India-China relations, spanning from the making of a common border to the events leading to the 1962 war. Relying on vast Chinese, Indian, as well as western sources, the study provides a detailed exegesis of the nature of conflict covering over a century of political contours in the British India, Manchu China, Republican China and finally the Republic of India and Peoples Republic of China. This includes the British as well as Manchu aggression in Tibet and the ensuing diplomatic manoeuvrability between various stakeholders, resulting in conclusion of various conventions and boundaries including the contentious McMahon Line and shifting line alignments of the Chinese in the Western Sector of India-China border. The domestic socio-political and economic climate as well as the equations that resulted from the Cold War between India and China have been looked into and analysed reflecting the Chinese and well as Indian perspectives. The special case of Sino-Pak entente and India-China rivalry in Asia as a whole has been analysed vis-?-vis their security concerns.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

At the Foot of the Himalayas Paleontology and Ecosystem Dynamics of the Siwalik Record【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>This authoritative volume brings together decades of insights from one of the longest terrestrial fossil records on the planet.</strong></p> <p>The fabled Himalayas have isolated and sheltered the Indian subcontinent for millions of years. The Siwalik sequence of sediments at their feet has been a treasure trove of visions into the past for generations of paleontologists, preserving an immense 20 million years of terrestrial ecosystems' fossil record. The Siwalik sequence reveals a unique forest wonderland of diverse animal species: from huge elephant relatives, great rhinos, and sabertooth cats, to mongooses, swamp rats, crocodiles, and catfish. Regional climate change eventually caused this forest ecosystem to unravel, as grasslands replaced the forests and established the habitats and animals of the modern ecosystems of the Indus and Ganges rivers.</p> <p>In <em>At the Foot of the Himalayas,</em> celebrated paleontologists Catherine Badgley, Mich?le Morgan, and David Pilbeam bring together a collection of world-renowned scholars to present an interdisciplinary approach to documenting and interpreting this fossil record. By investigating changes in landscape, climate, and vertebrate species diversity, their analysis reveals insights into a central question about biodiversity: which evolutionary developments were influenced by changes in climate, and which were caused by interactions among the species themselves? This groundbreaking book illuminates for the first time a mysterious and vibrant paleontological past, bringing together more than 40 years of exciting international collaborative studies that forge invaluable knowledge pathways for the ecologists, evolutionary scientists, and paleontologists of the future, and pose important questions about our fragile ecosystems in the present day.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
