Culture and Customs of Mongolia PDF
by May Timothy May
Part of the Culture and Customs of Asia series
Description
The Gobi Desert, cold mountainous regions, and harsh climate of Mongolia leave it with one of the lowest population densities in the world.
Nonetheless, Mongolians are proud of their long heritage, and carry even today their customs of the past.
In this all-inclusive study of contemporary Mongolian life, readers will learn about nomadic lifestyles still practiced today.
Other topics covered include Buddhism and other religions, literature, arts, cuisine, dress, family life, festivals and leisure activities, social customs, and lifestyle.
May also includes an overview of Chinggis Khan, the father of the Mongol Empire, and his legacy in Mongolian culture today.
Ideal for high school and undergraduate students, this volume is an essential addition to library shelves.
