宋舒红编著的《点读西藏（英文版）》包括西藏概况、西藏民俗和西藏文化等部分，分别对西藏的自然地理、历史发展、宗教传统以及藏族的衣食住行、节日民俗、语言文字、文化艺术等进行了简明扼要的介绍。其中许多内容与西藏的日常生活密切相关，如西藏概况部分包括西藏的神山圣湖、生态环境、经济交通、教育医疗以及民族区域自治、藏传佛教等方面的内容；西藏民俗部分介绍了藏族服饰、传统民居以及藏历新年、酥油花灯节、雪顿节、展佛节等节日礼俗，还有糌粑、酥油茶、青稞酒等饮食习俗；西藏文化部分涉及的内容有藏族神话、史诗、唐卡、寺庙建筑、壁画、传统体育、藏戏、歌舞等。

希望这样一些对西藏生活全方位的“点读”能够对希望了解西藏的读者有所帮助。
