The Baekdu Daegan is an unbroken 1400km mountain spine that stretches the length of the Korean peninsula. Roger Shepherd is the only person to have explored the Baekdu Daegan in North Korea. This 225 x 300m (portrait) hardcover book with an eye-catching dust jacket is a 250p eight-year collection of the best of Roger’s rare and stunning photographic work of the Baekdu Daegan in North Korea. What makes this edition more appealing is that for the first time it contains essays that reflect how Roger's exploration of the Baekdu Daegan grew into a deep concern for the re-engagement of Korea. They reveal how his remote journey of mountains helped him discover affinities between the people of North and South Korea, and how he began sharing these findings with the Koreans to help them forge human bonds.
