  • Bibliography of the History and Culture of the Himalayan Region
    Bibliography of the History and Culture of the Himalayan Region Volume One History Anthropology and Related Social Sciences Bruce McCoy Owens Theodore Riccardi, Jr. Todd Thornton Lewis Acknowledgements This project was completed under the aegis of the Southern Asian Institute of Columbia University, and we wish to express our gratitude to Ainslie T. Embree, Director, and William F. Fisher, Assistant Director for their forbearance and cooperation in this endeavour. David Lelyveld, Review Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies, provided us with timely news of new publications and a unique opportunity to examine them. The reference librarians of Columbia University were of immeasureable assistance, both in the early stages when we were designing a data base system and later in the continuing process of uncovering valuable reference resources. We especially thank Eileen McIlvaine, Lora Benkowsky and Anita Lowry for the extra interest and care they took in helping us formulate our data base requirements and in ferreting out obscure works. The exacting and tedious task of entering the citations into the data base was done by several people and they deserve special recognition for their stamina. We thank Anne Heimstra and Anjaly Banshali for their efforts in this regard. The bulk of this onerous task was accomplished with good humor and blinding speed by Claire Riccardi, without whom it is impossible to imagine this project ever having reached a satisfactory conclusion. INTRODUCTION The present bibliography contains some 7,000 entries on the history and social sciences of the peoples of the Himalayas. The variety and relative isolation of the Himalayan cultures has brought many scholars to that part of the world in recent years.
