The Himalaya has been a source of attraction, inspiration and exploration to people from all walks of life and over the ages.  The Himalay rises abruptly, resulting in a diversity of ecosystems and is rich in biodiversity.  The Himalayan society possesses a unique repository of culture and heritage.  Different facets of the Himalaya have been described in poetry, fiction, prose, science and art.  All this information on the Himalaya is however, scattered. In this era of information technology, it is essential to collate the available information and create an integrated knowledge base.  It is also important to disseminate this knowledge because only when information is disseminated among various user groups resulting in strengthening of linkages does it became knowledge.  The institute of Integrated Himalayans Studies (IIHS), "UGC Centre of Excellence", H.P. University, Shimla has made an attempt in this direction to bring this publication.  It's research staff documented abstracts f books on Himalayan Region available in different libraries both with in and outside the state.  The Institute is further upgrading the annotated bibliography on a regular basis.  The Present work is a collection of annotated bibliographic entries of books pertaining to :- Volume 1: Biological Science, Volume 2: Economic and Political Aspects, Volume 3 Physical Science, Volume 4: Socio-cultural Aspects.
