"In Exploring the Himalaya, Justice Douglas describes some of the most celebrated and dangerous mountain-climbing expeditions and tells of his own journey through the mountain ranges with a Tibetan caravan. His personal experiences as mountain climber and traveler have enabled him to give a vivid, first-hand account of the lives of the people who dwell in the shadows of the towering pinnacles and the rigors and hardships endured by those who have conqured the treacherous Himalayan peaks." 177 pages, indexed, with photographs and drawings. The binding is green cloth; the jacket has a 1" tear at the front bottom corner, a 1/2" tear at the spine bottom, and light wear on the other corners. An excellent book for pre-adolescents and teens.
