FLAT SIGNED by Galen Rowell on the 2nd endpaper, no inscription. The previous owner signed his own name in small writing on the same page.
From the dust jacket: “If the word ‘HIMALAYA’ conjures up an image of a mountain paradise inhabited by cheerful villagers, then this book will shock you.” Through words and photographs, Galen Rowell explores the effects of modern life and tourism on the world’s highest places: the mountains of Nepal, India and Pakistan.
