Product Description:
Kazakhstan is vast the ninth-largest country in the world yet there is relatively little information available in English about the attractions of this remarkable country. With the Kazakh government seeking to promote the development of tourism, publication of the Bradt guide is timely. Located between Russia and China, the state of Kazakhstan possesses an incredible diversity of natural beauty; this guide includes arrangements for visiting natural parks and reserves and special features such as singing sand dunes and the Sharyn Canyon - Asia’s equivalent of the Grand Canyon. Key historical and archaeological sites are also given due prominence, Kazakhstan having been inhabited since the Stone Age. |

Soon after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Keith Rosten leaves the United States to be a Fulbright Lecturer in newlyindependent Kazakhstan. In Once in Kazakhstan, Rosten draws a sometimes humorous portrait of a critical period in the emergence of this Central Asian country, interweaving the challenges and exhilaration of living in Kazakhstan with the historical backdrop of a nation grappling with its independence. From horse heads in the Central Market, to guns on the ski slopes, and to the first-ever parliamentary elections, Rosten takes you on a whirlwind tour of the country. He vividly recounts the change in currency from the Soviet ruble to the tenge and travels with a candidate for parliament to a rural village near Semipalatinsk. Using his knowledge of local language and customs, Rosten provides access to native sources on the history, politics, traditions, and spirit of Kazakhstan. Complete with photographs of the people, places, and monuments of the country, Once in Kazakhstan is an invaluable resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about, or traveling to, the fascinating landscape of this emerging nation. |

Product Description:
A country larger than Western Europe, Kazakhstan's vast expanse encompasses the Great Steppe, across which Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes galloped; the heights of the Tien Shan in the south, through whose foothills Silk Road travelers journeyed; the exquisite lakes and valleys of the Altai mountains in the northeast, and in the far west the archeologically rich desert coast of the Caspian Sea. With independence and the discovery of oil has come huge change, yet Kazakhstan remained one of the least known of Asian countries until the Borat movie took the world by storm in 2006. Now, this land of rich history, welcoming people and whirling bazaars shares its wonders with a curious world.

A vibrant account, enthralling from start to finish. (La Croix, Paris); Investigative journalism with the talent of a storyteller. (Elle, Paris); The famous Geneva-based reporter has returned with a mountain of memories and sketches of one engaging character after another. (Tribune de Genève, Geneva). This excellent piece of travel writing takes us on a bitter-sweet tour of Kazakhstan, providing us with a trove of fascinating stories about this former Soviet Socialist Republic's quest for identity since its independence in 1991. This troubled nation is the ninth largest in the world and yet it has only 16 million inhabitants. Its oil resources are such that OPEC predicts that by 2015 Kazakhstan's oil production will equal Saudi Arabia's. The author's keen photographic eye picks up every detail. From the old capital Almaty to the brand new capital Astana. From the environmental catastrophe of the Aral Sea to the tragic consequences of Soviet former nuclear testing in Semipalatinsk. We are treated to the country's ever-changing landscapes and steppes, as well as the many faces and destinies of its peoples. We hear from the poor, who speak with nostalgia of the life they once knew in communist days. We meet born-again believers in "ethnic purity", Russians who no longer belong in Kazakhstan, German survivors of Stalin's gulags, Jews who just landed from Brooklyn, Uigurs dreaming of independence . . . Deonna also draws a telling portrait of a neo-feudal president, and describes the resurgence of Islam in Central Asia. |
