"Professor M. T. Kapstein′s elegantly written The Tibetans describes the Tibetan area, its inhabitants and the richness of its religious and secular culture in a truly exquisite and highly intelligent manner. It is an impressive achievement. The Tibetans is in every respect a masterful survey in which the political and cultural history of the enormous area inhabited by the Tibetan people get their fair share. Every page of this volume is informed by the author′s profound knowledge and understanding of the many facets of this unique culture. In my opinion, The Tibetans will surely displace the earlier, general volumes on Tibet by R.A. Stein and H.E. Richardson and D.L. Snellgrove, and thus quickly become a modern classic." Leonard W.J. van der Kuijp, Harvard University
"Kapstein has produced a finely textured work that can correct prevailing misconceptions and introduce the reader to the amazing complexity of what he calls the Tibetan civilizational sphere. The Tibetans helps us better understand the historical and cultural forces that have shaped Tibet s destiny." Traditional Yoga Studies

This book is a must read for junior scholars of Tibet and for lay persons with a general interest in the region; even those already expert in the field will find here much that is both entertaining and edifying." The China Journal
