3.0 out of 5 stars bhutan, 21 Jun 2007
By 
G. I. Forbes (edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bhutan: Kingdom of the Dragon (Hardcover)
This book should have been entitled Traditional Bhutan as it only deals with traditional,ceremonial,religious and agricultural aspects of the country.It is like writing abook on England without a mention of London or writing of Scotland as it were Brigadoon.Despite this the pictures are excellent but exclude any of Thimpu the modern capital or the national flower (Bhutan poppy) or the national animal(the takin).The text is good asfar as it goes but requires to be considerably expanded to give real meaning to the book.Anumber of pictures cover 2 pages which destroys their impact because of the crease and thereis no index.If there is to be a second edition a good deal of thought will have to be put into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning depictions of a beautiful country and people, 31 Mar 2000
By Rebecca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bhutan: Kingdom of the Dragon (Hardcover)
Returning from my first visit to Bhutan in November, 1999, I searched for a book which genuinely captures the beauty and uniqueness of this Himalayan Buddhist kingdom and her people. The combination of Dompnier's stunning photography and thoughtful text are more than I had hoped to find. The format, choice and excellence of pictures and insightful text aptly convey a sense of this very special place. For anyone interested in the iconography of Tibetan Buddhism, learning about a people and culture unlike any other on this planet, or looking for photojournalism at its best about the Himalayas , I highly recommend this book. Personally, it serves me well to keep alive cherished memories of a place I know I will visit again.
