My friend Lisa Napoli has written a wonderful book about Bhutan- both her time there a few years ago, and how the country continues to change. Bhutan was so difficult to get to for so long, it retained its distinctive character much longer than other places. Lisa went to advise the Bhutan radio station (prior to that, she'd been working for Marketplace on NPR). And I think because she is used to writing news, Lisa's style realy does make the reader feel like you're standing next to her as she has her Bhutanese adventures.
I have my own autographed hardcover copy of Radio Shangri-La, but if you do not, it's out in paperback now. It's also been chosen by Target as an Emerging Authors pick: http://www.target.com/p/Radio-Shangri-la-Reprint-Paperback/-/A-13981013#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbuttonhttp://
