The Atlas shows for the first time the contemporary geography of the entire Tibetan Plateau, an area where major powers (China, India and Pakistan) meet in the highest landscape on earth, originally occupied by the unique, ancient Buddhist civilisation of Tibet.

Michael Farmer is a retired architect who has been involved with Tibetan culture for many years. His maps have appeared in many publications, including the Nyingmapa School of Tibetan Buddhism, (Wisdom, 1991) and the Tibet Handbook (Footprint, 1996) and among other projects he has recently created a unique, large computer-generated three dimensional Map of Tibet for the Museo di Arte e Cultura Orientale (Arcidosso, 2019). He has designed several Tibetan gonpas, including the major lhakhang of Shechen Monastery in Nepal.
