Marilyn Rhie and Robert Thurman have provided an exciting book which organizes Tibetan History and the Tibetan bronze statues through identification of historical period and stylistic development. The examples of bronzes that have been selected and the explanation of the Boddhisatva's, Buddhas and Historical Rinpoche not only gives the reader an education through the wonderful descriptions, but also through looking at the superb photography of John Bigelow Taylor. This is definitely a great book for connoiseurs who want to study the evolution of the sculpture via geographical differences.

The Alice Kandell Collection is certainly a wondeful bronze collection of unusual and rare examples of Tibetan Sculpture. It certainly provides the peace and tranquility we would all like to attain through the experiences she must have felt in selecting and collecting each individual piece.This is definitely a book that I would recommend for anyone interested in Tibetan culture.
