Title: Mongolia: Land of the Deer Stone
Description: Revere, PA, Lodima Press, 2009. Hardcover. Grey DJ with photo illustration and red lettering; grey boards with silver lettering; xvi, 151 pp.; richly illustrated. "From 2002 through 2008, the exuberant desert traveler and photographer Elaine Ling made five trips to Mongolia's Gobi Desert to find and photograph the Deer Stones, Turkic Stones, and the shamanistic stone markers called ovoos, that are scattered across Mongolia's desert vastness. Her photographs and writing about the land and the nomads who live there tell the story of a desert world where shamans still converse with spirits and where ancient forms of Buddhism are enjoying a resurgence after years of Soviet suppression. Mongolia is truly a land of mystery and magic." -- DJ.
