| Publisher Description: Naxos AudioBooks' In a Nutshell series continues with this fascinating history of Tibet. Part of China for many years, yet with a clearly distinctive culture (with the central devotion of its people being to Buddhism and the Dalai Lama), Tibet has a unique character in the panoply of world nations. Here we have an independent view of its history and the customs and beliefs of its people--and a commentary on the current situation. |
