4.0
Published in 1991, and mostly about the 15 or so years prior, this book is still pretty relevant as cultural observations about the advantages and disadvantages of a traditional way of life getting "modernized." I'm really curious what the author would write now, after 15+ more years of development, both about the Ladakhi culture and the West's continued capitalist progress and the recent/current huge green movement.
