Hardcover
First Edition
Seller: Summerfield Books BA, Penrith, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Back. Condition: Very Good+. 1st Edition. Blue cloth boards with very light shelf wear. A few spots of very light foxing almost entirely confined to the edges of the textblock. Both pull-out maps in excellent condition. Burma's Icy Mountains describes two expeditions to Burma: one on his own and a second, with a larger American party close to the Burma-China border, completed by Kingdon-Ward prior to the outbreak of WWII. Not published until some ten years later. Aside from its relevance to those interested in his focus on the rich botanical diversity of this still inaccessible region, his vivid descriptions of the terrain, the fauna and the peoples encountered en-route, including Tibetans, Lisu, Lashi, Kachin and Nung, make this true chronicle of hardship and perseverance come alive.
