520    James Fisher combines the strengths of technical 
       anthropology, literary memoir, and striking photography in
       this telling study of rapid social change in Himalayan 
       Nepal. The author first visited the Sherpas of Nepal when 
       he accompanied Sir Edmund Hilary on the Himalayan 
       Schoolhouse Expedition of 1964. Returning to the Everest 
       region several times during the 1970s and 1980s, he 
       discovered that the construction of the schools had far 
       less impact than one of the by-products of their building:
       a short-take-off-and-landing airstrip. By reducing the 
       time it took to travel between Kathmandu and the Everest 
       region from a hike of several days to a 45-minute flight, 
       the airstrip made a rapid increase in tourism possible. 
       Beginning with his impressions of Sherpa society in pre-
       tourist days, Fisher traces the trajectory of contemporary
       Sherpa society reeling under the impact of modern 
       education and mass tourism, and assesses the Sherpa's 
       concerns for their future and how they believe these 
       problems should be and eventually will be resolved.
