		Heartlands by Michael Buckley (Paperback, 320 pages, August 2002)
		Michael Buckley explores the remote corners of the Tibetan world--from Ladakh through Tibet itself to Bhutan--in this travel narrative. Never far from adventure or alone for long, Buckley rubs shoulders with hardy nomads and questionable New Agers, cycles snowbound passes, sips tea with dissident monks, becomes an extra in a Chinese movie shot in Tibet, and chats to the Dalai Lama. Skating between danger and delight, he survives interrogation by Chinese police and encounters such esoterica as magical flying hats, healing oracles, giant phalluses and stuffed kangaroos. Buckley's darkly funny account of these amazing lands makes invaluable reading.
