Himalaya – Personal stories of grandeur, challenge and hope

Both a magnificent celebration and a call for compassion, Himalaya is a
panorama of the unique history and uncertain future of the world’s highest
region and its colorful inhabitants.

The awesome beauty of these lofty peaks, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, and
Annapurna, is brought to life by gifted photographers like Steve McCurry, Art
Wolfe, and many more, while such notable contributors as Jimmy Carter, the
Dalai Lama, Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, and over two dozen others
share vivid personal tales of Himalayan life, recount their efforts to
encourage hope and opportunity, and emphasize the urgent need to preserve the
vibrant variety of these ancient landscapes and cultures as they face the
mixed blessings of the modern world.
