Living with Herds: Human-Animal Coexistence in Mongolia

摘要

The ethnographic literature of Altaic peoples published in the English language is still a comparatively light body of work. Until recently, the only monograph published thus far on the subject since the fall of communism and the opening up of the area to Western researchers was Vitebsky's largely personal account of his time living among the Eveny. This was a wanted addition to the libraries of many scholars working in the area but, written for a popular rather than an academic audience, it generated more questions than it provided answers.
