Nearly two thousand settlements have also been accurately located and all locations are named in both Tibetan and Chinese where possible. This ancient landscape is shown in contrast to the massive physical infrastructure which has been recently imposed on it as an attempt to \"Open up the West\" and carry forward the Chinese \"Belt and Road Initiative\". With 120 maps in full colour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Farmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900446252X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004462526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Michael Farmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993243517183,"sku":"9789004462526","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6116daa6-ce1b-4d62-a394-5e499d3f5f2e.jpg?v=1683323309","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-atlas-of-the-tibetan-michael-farmer-9789004462526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
