Evans-Wentz, and Lama Govinda that Tibet had been made known to people in the West. it is their writings, lectures as well as adopted lifestyles, as in the case of David-Neel and Lama Govinda, that Tibet became intelligible, and they are the heroes and spokespersons who make known the wonders and mysteries in "Pioneers of Tibet." This book is about those passionate souls who would leave no stone unturned to get at the heart of what Tibet is about, and this book is aimed at paying tribute to them.
