Shwedagon: Golden Pagoda of Myanmar gives the reader a multi-faceted view of this magnificent Buddhist shrine. The texts, by archaeologist and art historian Elizabeth Moore of the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and Burmese scholar U Win Pe, discuss the history and evolution of the stupa, and are illustrated by many old pictures and plans. The atmosphere and vibrancy of a visit to the Shwedagon is admirably captured in a series of photographs by Hansjorg Mayer.
