Bauer's ethnography of the people of Dolpo, covers the history and environment of this isolated region, their culture, ways of life and transformation in the 20th century in scholarly, straightforward detail. Bauer conducted field research in Nepal between 1995 and 2002 and is the founder of DROKPA (meaning "nomad" in Tibetan), a nonprofit organization that provides development assistance to pastoralists in the Himalayas and Central Asia.  (NPL57, $43.50)
