I am
delighted to report the publication of two new books on Ladakh. The first is Visible Heritage. Essays on the Art and
Architecture of Greater Ladakh, edited by Rob Linrothe and Heinrich Pöll
and published by Studio Orientalia.
This contains ten papers from the 16th
conference of the IALS, held in Heidelberg (Germany) in April 2013. The
subjects range from temple architecture to fortifications, vernacular
architecture and the beautiful set of mid-19th century pictorial
maps known as the Wise Collection.
For further details on the contents and how
to order the book, please see the publisher’s website:
The second book is Rob Linrothe’s Seeing into Stone. Pre-Buddhist Petroglyphs
and Zangskar’s Early Inhabitants, also published by Studio Orientalia. For further details please see:http://www.studioorientalia.com/index.php?p=bookdetails&String=9788192450285
Both publications are lavishly illustrated, true
labours of love by the authors, editors and publisher.
