About This Book
"The celebration here of traditional Ladakhi life induces exhilaration but also
sadness, as if some half-remembered paradise known in another life had now been
lost. So evocative is it that I felt -- I'm not sure what -- homesickness?"
--Peter Matthiessen, from the Introduction
"Though full of stories and photographs of the Ladakhi way of life. [Ancient
Futures] is much more than a travelogue; it is . . . an ecologue .... The
Western industrial 'monoculture' that has infected and endangers the rich
ancient culture of Ladakhi is the one that is endangering us, its progenitors,
as well. A book that must be heeded." --Kirkpatrick Sale, The Nation
"A sensitive, thought-provoking account." --New York Review off Books
"An indispensable book for people who are trying to protect rural life."
--Wendell Berry
"Everyone who cares about the future of this planet, about their children's
future, and about the deterioration in the quality of life in our own society,
should read [this book]." --The Guardian (England)
About The Author
