A decent, well written and well illustrated guide to Kazakhstan, both land and people. It deals well with the "Borat" phenomenon and then goes on to dispel all the myths put out by Cohen.

Best Yet!
6 Oct 2008

Format:Perfect Paperback
I look at most books on Kazakhstan as I have many interests and contacts there. I picked this one up out of curiosity and was delighted to find it has far more detail and interest than the usual travel guide, with outstanding photography (including two- page spreads), essays on "Special topics" like petroglyphs, and literary excerpts. The information in any area I know about is correct and up to date. I must say I was surprised and pleased to see several people I know there referenced as contacts-- I can assure you they are good ones. Such subjects as natural history and esoteric ones like hunting with eagles and the local "tazi" dogs are accurate, something I have not seen often in guidebooks. "Kazakhstan" is both a good guidebook and a wonderful armchair tour of the country

If you are visiting the country or you are at all interested in Kazakh culture - I strongly recommend purchasing this book. It is one of the best I have purchased. In addition - the photographs are beautiful.

My husband and I are traveling to Kazakhstan to visit our daughter who works for Chevron in Atyrau. We were finding it difficult to find information about this large emerging nation. This book is well written and the information for tourists is well organized and very complete. The author is also a photographer so the numerous color photos are exceptional.
Included are also special sections on the history, politics, land and people, the arts and culture of the country. The traveller's tips are very complete. There are also a few literary excerpts included.
A beautiful, interesting and complete guide book.
