It provides up-to-date, accurate entries on all aspects of the Mongols' history and culture, from prehistory to modern times. While particular emphasis is placed on the Mongol Empire, entries cover the country's entire history and range from geography to culture and religion to personalities, battles, daily life, and folklore.
Entires on major entries are accompanied by a further reading list to guide readers to selected resources for more in-depth research. This volume is a great first stop for research on Mongolia as well as a valuable reference for those wishing to expand their knowledge of a region that is, to most Westerners, exotic and relatively unknown. Black-and-white photographs, detailed maps, a bibliography, chronology, and index round out this resource.
Illustrated throughout with b&w maps, photographs, and artistic reproductions, this reference volume contains hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries covering Mongolia's entire history. A sampling of topics includes the Altaic language family, Confucianism, the modern economy, the Golden Horde, foreign relations, matrilineal clans, the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, shamanism, and the yurt. Atwood is the editor in chief of Mongolian Studies, The Journal of the Mongolia Society. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
