HIMAL IS BACK!
Himal Southasian, the region's only review magazine, is back on the stands after a year's hiatus.
Our special Jul-Aug 2005 issue is all about building linkages -- from gas pipelines to airways, cross-border media to trade regimes - - and also projects the shared democratic ideals from which some of us are moving away, and others, towards. Mostly, the 35 essays, reports and articles in the magazine, listed below, ask that we consider the people.
For a preview of the articles and subcription information, please visit

To receive a hard copy of the magazine at no charge, as an introductory offer, write to

Thank you,
Himal Team, Kathmandu
