摘要

在《喜马拉雅山》的序言中，合著者詹姆斯·a·雷恩写道:“我们对该地区的了解是平淡的。它仍然信息贫乏——既不精确也不复杂——而且极不准确。“(第13页)。这部令人印象深刻的新作品着手纠正这种情况，采取多方面的方法，包括该地区的地理、动植物、语言和种族的复杂性、悠久的历史、经常发生的政治纠纷以及丰富的文化和宗教生活。

Book Review: The Himalayas: An Encyclopedia of Geography, History, and Culture

In his preface to The Himalayas, coeditor James A. Wren writes that “our understanding of the region is flat. It remains ill-informed—without precision or sophistication—and wildly inaccurate.” (p. xiii). This impressive new work sets out to correct the situation by taking a multifaceted approach encompassing the region’s geography, flora and fauna, linguistic and ethnic complexity, long history, frequently vexed politics, and rich cultural and religious life.
