Kham then and now. A photoblog showing how eastern Tibet looked in the 1920s and how the same places and people look now. Based on the explorations of botanist Joseph Rock.

My book "In the Footsteps of Joseph Rock" is now online
Please see the index on the right - you can click to see the whole book (10 chapters, one for each of Joseph Rock's expeditions), or you can click on individual chapters. Hosted by Scribd. Let me know what you think.
Dr Joseph Rock was an Austrian-American botanist who explored the Tibetan borderlands of Sichuan and Yunnan in the 1920s and 30s. This is about my travels to revisit the places he described in the National Geographic magazine. Any questions? contact me at beijingweek AT gmail

Glad to be the first to say that it is all gripping stuff, and nice to see it all set out in order.
I've been a fan of the content - and of the blog - since 2004-ish.
Agreed that Muli has an "other-worldly" air, even now.
Well done.....
Thanks. I'm now doing some last minute edits and looking for a publisher. Don't know where to start ...
Hi Michael, I'm not in publishing, but here are two suggestions,
http://www.odysseypublications.com
(in Hong Kong, a lot of China geographical/historical stuff, or
http://www.thehistorypress.co.uk - very wide range of published stuff.
Good Luck, wherever you try !
Thanks John. I am still correcting the first draft and will give those ones you suggested a try.
cheers
Michael
