Description

Empires of the Indus: The Story of a RiverOne of the largest rivers in the world, the Indus rises in the Tibetan mountains and flows west across northern India and south through Pakistan. It has been worshipped as a god, used as a tool of imperial expansion, and today is the cement of Pakistan s fractious union. Alice Albinia follows the river upstream, through two thousand miles of geography and back to a time five thousand years ago when a string of sophisticated cities grew on its banks.

One of the largest rivers in the world, the Indus rises in the Tibetan mountains and flows west across northern India and south through Pakistan. It has been worshipped as a god, used as a tool of imperial expansion, and today is the cement of Pakistan s fractious union. Alice Albinia follows the river upstream, through two thousand miles of geography and back to a time five thousand years ago when a string of sophisticated cities grew on its banks. This turbulent history, entwined with a superlative travel narrative (The Guardian) leads us from the ruins of elaborate metropolises, to the bitter divisions of today. Like Rory Stewart s The Places In Between, Empires of the Indus is an engrossing personal journey and a deeply moving portrait of a river and its people."

Cute for pics but not practical
Size: 6 Toddler, Color: Pink
These are super cute. For pics they’re great. They’re however not easy to put on and they don’t keep out the cold. Not really snow proof since they don’t really fit snug at the top. Sitting on the shelf waiting for a special outing this winter when it’s not too cold.

Love these boots!
Size: 6 Toddler, Color: Champagne
Striderite’s are the perfect shoes for your new walkers! The quality is amazing, great soles and great support for new walkers. I bought these for my daughter for our trip to the snow, they kept her feet warm and allowed her to walk around. Not waterproof, but worked for what we needed.
