"The Chinese Qinghai-Xizang (Tsinghai-Tibetan Plateau) is the highest, largest, and youngest plateau in the world. Situated between the Tropical and Temperate Zones of the earth and with an average height ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level, it is often referred to as "The Roof of the World." Due to its geographical position and unique natural environment, the plateau's vegetation consists of forests, shrubbery, grasslands, meadows, and desert plants. It therefore possesses a great variety of plant genera and species, especially those of alpine plants, whose beautiful and sometimes gorgeous flowers of every imaginable shape and color, as well as the graceful and elegant forms of the plants themselves, are extremely attractive and ravishing" (jacket blurb).
