This book studies five Tibetan temples that exemplify architectural and artistic styles from five periods, spanning the eighth through fifteenth centuries. The art-historical perspective is supported by many color plates and complemented by accounts drawn from Tibetan historical sources. The five chapters focus respectively on Kachu (kwa chu), Yemar (g.ye dmar) and Dratang (grwa thang), a chapel in the Jokhang (jo khang), Zhalu (zhwa lu), and the Riwoché (ri bo che) stupa.(Kevin Vose 2004-05-20)

In two parts, this book surveys the history and buildings of Toling (tho ling) Monastery. Part One focuses on literary sources for Toling's history. Part Two utilizes literary, oral, and photographic evidence to "reconstruct" the buildings and grounds of the monastery. Appendices offer additional literary sources concerning Toling as well as surveys of nearby temples. Tibetan thangkas, sketches and paintings accompany the text in order to illustrate this reconstruction. (Kevin Vose 2004-03-23)
