Description and Table of Contents
Description
Locked within rugged moutain ranges, Nepal was cut off from most of the world for centuries. It was in the mid-1950s that Nepal took its first steps towards development, and in this book the authors describe the growth and changes that have occurred in this Himalayan kingdom from that time until the present. They point to the particular development challenges posed by small, resource-poor, mountainous and land-locked countries. The discussion covers geographical aspects, the human dmension, and issues related to industrial development, communications and tourism.
