520    "The Himalaya weave through five very different countries,
       where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism 
       are mixed with ancient shamanic religions. Countless 
       languages and vastly different cultures live in the 
       secluded mountain valleys. Modernity and tradition collide,
       while the great powers fight for influence. We have read 
       about mountain climbers on their way up Mount Everest and 
       about travellers on the spiritual quest for Buddhist 
       monasteries. But how much do we know about the people 
       living in the Himalaya? Fatland invites us into close 
       encounters with the many peoples of the region, and at the
       same time takes us on a dizzying journey at altitude 
       through incredible landscapes and dramatic, unknown world 
       histories - all the way to the most volatile human 
       conflicts of our times." --publisher's website.
