A Yak In The Fridge Life And Work In Nepal

A Yak In The Fridge is filled with hilarious stories where John Dickinson's close-knit family members heartily join in writing chapters to give us an entertaining and often insightful perspective of Nepal especially from the late 1970s and eighties which for John made riveting reading. This book is not a complete political, geographical or historical study of Nepal, but there are elements of this. John has made an attempt to portray society and the practice of medicine as it was for him in the Nepal of 40-odd years ago and the way it has changed. The book also show how the whole nation has developed,a nd contrast the quaint old-fashioned-ness of the 1960s and 70s with the modern state.
