Book excerpt: The proposed book explores locally-produced documents from Mustang, Nepal, mostly dated to the year within the last two centuries. The archives are from five communities: Tshognam, Geling, Lubrak, and Jharkot. The documents were preserved in wooden or metal boxes, baskets or bags as a loose assemblage of folded sheets of paper. Some of the collections are from private households, whereas others are the communal property of villages, in which case they could be opened and photographed only in the presence of community representatives. The documents are of several different kinds, including contracts, petitions, edicts, letters, dispute resolutions, tax records and community regulations. Besides being an important source of information for the reconstruction of Mustang's social history, are an extremely valuable source of knowledge about local paper- and book-production. It is not only their content but their material that provides information essential to tracing a past history, clarifying, among other things, the economic factors that shaped their production.

Download or read book Mountains Physical Human Environmental and Sociocultural Dynamics written by Mark A. Fonstad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountains have captured the interests and passions of people for thousands of years. Today, millions of people live within mountain regions, and mountain regions are often areas of accelerated environmental change. This edited volume highlights new understanding of mountain environments and mountain peoples around the world. The understanding of mountain environments and peoples has been a focus of individual researchers for centuries; more recently the interest in mountain regions among researchers has been growing rapidly. The articles contained within are from a wide spectrum of researchers from different parts of the world who address physical, political, theoretical, social, empirical, environmental, methodological, and economic issues focused on the geography of mountains and their inhabitants. The articles in this special issue are organized into three themed sections with very loose boundaries between themes: (1) physical dynamics of mountain environments, (2) coupled human–physical dynamics, and (3) sociocultural dynamics in mountain regions. This book was first published as a special issue of the Annals of the American Association of Geographers.

Download or read book Peoples of the Buddhist World written by Paul Hattaway and published by William Carey Library. This book was released on 2004 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 20 years, Christians around the world have launched initiatives to reach Muslims, Communists, Hindus and other major unreached people groups but the Buddhist world has largely been overlooked. Hundreds of millions of Buddhists continue to live and die without any exposure to the Gospel. In Peoples of the Buddhist World, researcher and author Paul Hattaway graphically presents prayer profiles of more than 200 Buddhist people groups around the world, beautifully illustrated with color pictures throughout. In addition, experts have contributed articles on various aspects of Buddhism, helping the reader to learn, pray and work until that day when "the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will reign for ever and ever" (Rev. 11:15).--From publisher's description.
Download or read book The Mardzong Manuscripts Preservation Interpretation and Dating of an Archaeological Find in Mustang Nepal written by Agnieszka Helman-Wazny and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the Mardzong manuscripts, a collection found in 2008 in the caves of Upper Mustang near Lo Monthang in Nepal, re-visited four times between 2015 and 2018 by the project team. These manuscripts are an extraordinary archaeological find, akin to the more archaic caches of the Silk Road manuscripts from Central Asia, but far less is known of them. They constitute a repository teeming with artefacts, rich in history, and abounding with information about Tibetan book culture, the Bon and Buddhist religions and the local history of craftsmanship spanning half a millennium, carbon dated as they have been to between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries. Through a thorough multidisciplinary approach this study reveals new ways of treating these books as artefacts with an unprecedented potential to illuminate the history of their production, usage and provenance. It also vastly increases the interpretative integrity of the analyses of the materials, codicological records and textual interpretations. This is the first collection of books from Mustang to be subjected to systematic codicological research and material study beyond the translation and interpretation of the texts.
