Remarkable in many respects, this gorgeously produced book features hundreds of photographs of the landscapes, places, festivals and especially the people of Bhutan. It's in part the record of four treks across the Himalayan kingdom by Michael Hawley and his team from MIT. All proceeds from the book are donated by the publisher to education in Bhutan. It's Hawley's little big book, still an impressive five pounds. The world's largest book, from which it is drawn, is a 150-pound, 5-by-7-foot technical marvel, available upon request with a custom aluminum stand for a $15,000 donation. White glove overnight shipping by FedEx is included.  (BHU20, $100.00)
