Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The only work of its kind, this comprehensive and systematic two-volume publication examines 1,400 years of Tibet's cultural heritage in art and architecture. Focusing on Central and Southern Tibet, these two beautifully illustrated volumes are the product not only of years of scholarship but also, importantly, of the many visits and field research trips the author made over the last twenty-five years. Providing a fundamental work of reference, they include over 1,100 illustrations, most of them recent photographs by the author, and many rare and previously unpublished historical photographs, as well as over 100 architectural plans and drawings. Detailed descriptions and interpretations of the buildings, art, and furnishings of all major monasteries and significant secular buildings, as well as numerous references to both historical Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Chinese texts and to works of scholarly research in the West and in China, make this work a unique source of information for both the specialist and the general reader. This extensive documentation on the sacred art and monuments of Buddhist Tibet also provides a deeply researched history of the cultural and religious circumstances in which the sites and relics were created."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Tibet in Pictures presents a rare collection of two hundred photographs of Tibetan temples and statues taken by Li Gotami Govinda when she accompanied her husband on two pilgrimages to central and western Tibet from 1947 to 1949. Buddhist images are printed in rich duotones, while religious sites and scenes from daily life are in black and while. Highlights include rare photos of Tibetan masters, ritual dancers, and oracles, closely-ups of statues, temple interiors, stunning landscapes, the famous Kumbum at Gyantse, the 10th and 11th-century temples of Tsaparang, and the golden temples of Tholing. Captions by Lama Govinda place each scene in the context of the pilgrimage and clarify the historic and religious significance of these monuments, many of which no longer exist. One of the last records ever made of the vanished art and culture of Old Tibet, this photo essay is a vivid portrayal of Buddhist civilization, valuable for art historians and students of Tibetan culture. 200 black & white photographs offer a rare glimpse of the land, people, and religious practices of pre-1950 Tibet.
