About the Author
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease almost seven years ago, but he hasn't stopped moving yet. He has made a video with the UNM Neurology department, A Patient's Story, to highlight the advances in treatment for such diseases. If possible, more Asian books, including a collaboration with his photographer stepson on centuries of western travelers in the Szechuan- Tibetan border country, are in the pipeline, as are a novel, a memoir, and the second book of books. Meanwhile he still lives in Magdalena, a former cattle drive town in the mountains of southern New Mexico, with his wife, Elizabeth (Libby) Adam Frishman, a second- generation mountaineer, paleoarchaeologist, and former Outward Bound trekking guide.
