“This is not a book. It is pure art. The tribal woven cloth spine, the printing, the photography, the typeset, the negative asymmetric spaces, the finely drawn illustrations…”

“Ramya Reddy’s substantial book Soul of the Nilgiris is a distinctly feminine celebration of culture, tradition, craft and community. Open the cover and it will transport you to another place that feels like another time but is still very much with us in the present. Immerse yourself in it and you will become more aware of the many wonders that await you when you rekindle a deeper connection with nature. There’s wisdom in here that will help us chart our courses to healthier, more whole ways of life with ourselves, each other, and our planet.”

The Mountain Connection
An immersive exploration of the mountains around the world and their profound relationship with humanity.
How do we live within these grand landscapes, and how, in turn, do they live within us? “The Mountain Connection” travels from the majestic Himalayas, through the verdant Northeast, into the mystical heart of the Western Ghats, and to the far reaches of the Antarctic. Through exquisitely crafted stories we map the intricate bonds connecting these diverse terrains.
At the heart of this edition lie deeply reflective and thought-provoking themes spanning local and global perspectives. We delve into the myths and folklore that resonate across mountain ranges, asking what ancient wisdom the stoic rocks of distant peaks can impart.
