Eccentric Explorers was Winner of the Biography category at the 2009 Indie Excellence Book Awards, California, USA. In this extensively researched book, the rich culture and history of Tibet are viewed through a rather special lens--through the eyes of ten wild and wacky adventurers, each bent on unlocking the strange riddles and secrets of Tibet.
"This book is a treasure-trove of tales from a far-away place, and an era erased by the shifting sands of time--and by Chinese invasion. Drawing on his own mad journeys in Tibet, Buckley brings out the best of both the majestic Tibetans and the Western explorers portrayed." -- Pat Morrow, first to climb the Seven Summits (Carstenz Pyramid variation), and veteran of six expeditions to the wilds of Tibet.
