Sichuan Western Highlands Chengdu-Lhasa, Tamaki From the website of Harish Kapadia: Tom san is well known for his travels in Western China, Sichuan or East of Himalaya as he calls it. Almost singlehandedly he has opened this area to knowledge and future. Whatever he does, it is with passion and perseverance. It took him 20 years to compile and identify peaks that make up this book. All pictures are taken from the air, requiring more than 20 flights on routes like Kathmandu to Lhasa, Kathmandu to Chengdu, Yushu and Lhasa to Ali, across the Tibetan plateau. He has taken hundreds of photos (Canon EOS 50mm~250mm and Canon PowerShot S95 35mm~100mm) and consulted many maps to identify each peak of the Himalaya seen on these routes. The result is this classic large size book. It will help climbers, students and researchers to understand the vastness of the Himalaya. There is so much to climb and explore in the range. The areas from the Karakoram to West Sichuan Highlands are covered in 11 well-distributed sections. Peaks of each area are identified, and some from different angles. Many areas not open for exploration for political reasons but are now open to knowledge. This is the work of a lifetime � a book that defies time as mountains are not going to change. Towards the end of the book, he has presented a list of his lifetime of work from 1934 to 2019. The scope of his accomplishments is amazing. He has travelled to many parts of the world and addressed many Alpine Clubs. He is an Honorary Member of nine Alpine Clubs, including the Himalayan Club, and the recipient of the Busk Medal of the Royal Geographical Society, London (2008). In 2016 he received the Piolet d�Or, Asia, Lifetime Achievement Award and in the following year the Japanese government honoured him with an Award for Lifetime Sports Achievement. All well deserved.
