by T. Louise Brown
Publisher: Routledge;The Democratic Transition in Nepal
by Ramjee P. Parajulee
Book Description This comprehensive analysis provides a thorough and balanced treatment of the emergence of a democratic polity in Nepal. Drawing on original survey data, Ramjee P. Parajulee analyzes the role of external forces in the transition process and the barriers to consolidating democracy. The author argues that a favorable external environment and the changing policies of outside actors influenced the perceptions and behavior of internal political forces, thus contributing to democratization efforts. Yet despite positive signs, the consolidation effort faces political, economic, and sociocultural roadblocks that will continue to hamper Nepal's development.

Massacre at the Palace: The Doomed Royal Dynasty of Nepal
by Jonathan Gregson
On the evening of June 1, 2001, during an intimate gathering of Nepal's royal family, Crown Prince Dipendra opened fire with automatic weapons inside Kathmandu's royal palace, killing his parents -- the king and queen -- his siblings, five other close relatives, and ultimately himself. It was the bloodiest, most complete massacre of any royal family ever recorded and the most horrifying event in the history of the Shah Dynasty, which had ruled Nepal over 10 generations.

Travel Editor's Recommended Book
The Travelers' Tales series has just gotten better. Not only are there 37 stories from a variety of writers (including Jamling Tenzing, Jan Moris, Peter Matthiessen, Meg Noonan, and Jimmy Carter) on topics ranging from earthquakes and tigers to climbing Mt. Everest and butchering a goat, there's also a chapter of practical information. The book tells when the wildflowers bloom in the Himalayas, when the lower valleys are most pleasant, and when the monsoons rage. It presents the necessary details about visas, trekking permits, transportation, and health. It covers time, money, holidays, and cultural etiquette, plus a glossary, important contacts, and an imposing list of suggested reading. Nepal is just as rewarding as always, but now it's easier to prepare. Amazon.com

The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes : Notes from Nepal
by Barbara J. Scot
More than just a travel-jaunt memoir, The Violet Shyness of Their Eyes is a feminist's view of the women of Nepal. Whether trekking in the Himalayas or exploring Katmandu, Scot watches and contemplates the Nepalese treatment of little girls, mothers, and old women, and her observations offer both a perceptive work of cultural anthropology and a riveting travel tale.
