Tibetan Rescue

Logan, who founded the nonprofit Kham Aid Foundation to support conservation of the murals of Tibet's Pewar Monastery, provides a firsthand look at Tibetan culture and the fate of their Buddhist monasteries under Chinese Communist rule. Maps, color and bandw illustrations, and appended material (with some references) help detail her travels from 1994-98 among these people, their languages, treasures, and conservation techniques.
