The book begins with a brief description of the Devanagari script and of common pronunciation rules. Then a brief history of the Nepali language is presented. The subsequent chapter on word types and origins is followed by a chapter on the parts of speech. The remainder ...

Handy little phrasebook at a nice cheap price
I was surprised that the two reviews prior to mine gave such a bad rating. Well, I'm half-Indian, I was born in the north-east of India near the Himalayas with very close contact with Nepalis in my early childhood and I couldn't actually see what the problem was with this book! It's small, compact, glossy, useful and very cheap, I mean what else do you want if you are only looking for the basics. ...

A very thorough, organized textbook
David Matthews's A Course in Nepali is a very well written textbook, it does not assume any previous knowledge of the language. The book starts with the Nagari script step by step into the complexity of Nepali grammar. Grammatical explanations are very detailed and thorough, readers are expected to take some time to patiently digest each lesson. The exercises are also well designed, closely ...

The Association of Nepalis in the Americas
Snow Lion Publications

Pictures are not needed to improve this cookbook!
I'm really writing this review in response to the previous. Nepali cooking is not about PRESENTATION---it is about TASTE! Nepali cooking, unlike so much American cuisine, sometimes looks unappealing until one takes their first bite, then wow!! If you really need you food to look attractive and 'just like the pictures' then this is not for you, stick with box mixes and Betty Crocker. If you ...
The Art and Architecture of the Indian Subcontinent, Second Edition
1 review
J. C. Harle
Yale University Press
, 1994
Comprehensive listing, limited explanation.
This book is most appropriate as a companion to other overviews of Indian art. It is useful in that it lists art and architecture items by region. However, it gives little information as to why they are significant, or how they figure into the overall developmental pattern of Indian art.

fantastic!
With several dozen cookbooks on our shelves, my wife and I are fairly critical of new additions. This one definitely passes with flying colors. Pathak has included the little details that make shopping, cooking and eating such a delight. Not only do you get Nepali recipes in exquisite detail (an extremely rare occurence in and of itself) but you come to learn much about the country, its people ...

Stunning Tibetan Art / Should Be a Best-Seller
This magnificient collection showed at the Portland (Oregon) Art Museum several years ago. In terms of the quality of the thanka paintings, bronzes and ritual items gathered for the exhibit and reproduced in gorgeous full-color detail in this book, it is second only to "Wisdom and Compassion." The latter benefited from a national audience, widespread publicity, and publication of its catalog ...
