An Ever-changing Place is the story of their discoveries - Melemchi, a Sherpa village fifty miles on foot from the nearest road, the Bishops' home for a year; its people, who live by farming and semi nomadic herding, wandering the steep slopes with herds of zum (cow-yak hybrids); a culture governed by seasonal changes and ancient rituals and celebrations; and the snow monkeys, the only other primates on the mountain.
