Print: $9.96 This remarkable memoir, presented in spare, straight-forward prose, by a young Tibetan man, offers the reader an extraordinary opportunity to peer into a way of life that has existed on the high plains of his homeland since time immemorial, yet still remains hidden from most of our eyes. Like many Tibetan nomads, Karma-Dondrub isn’t certain of his birthday, just that it was sometime in 1983, in a black, yak-hair tent. He didn’t see a tree until he was eight years old and has never received a vaccination. In an age of instant communication it is difficult for many of us to comprehend that millions of our fellow humans still lead such lives―and for that reason alone Karma-Dondrub’s book is essential reading.

Print: $9.96 This rich, heart-warming story from the east edge of the Tibetan cultural region is set in Tebo at the border between Sichuan and Gansu provinces. It teaches us about contemporary changes, and elements of life that have stayed the same. Kondro has the oft repeated experience of being told, when ill, by a lama that he must become a novice or he will not recover. He declines that advice and survives with western medicine. His mother is not so fortunate in her encounter with the medical system in a remote rural region of China. Other changes come with the introduction of TV, e.g., a decline in telling Gesar stories, but the traditional practice of using the Tibetan Buddhist canon to benefit agricultural life persists. Influences of central planning and the state are clear in programs to distribute grain and convert fields to forest, but local agency is also present. Highly recommended. Gray Tuttle, Columbia University
