Mongolia:
Empire of the Steppes
by Claire Sermier
ISBN 962-217-689-5
This book contains a lot of detailed and useful
information not found elsewhere, as well as lovely
photographs. It is well written and enjoyable to
read, even for people not planning a visit to Mongolia.
The section on culture is particularly valuable,
and the history chapter describes a complicated
subject quite clearly. |

Mongolia:
Lonely Planet Travel Guide 5th Edition
by Micheal Kohn ISBN 1-741045-78-9 (1 May 2008)
Lonely Planet Guides are mainly intended for backpackers and people who want to explore a country by themselves under their own steam. This is difficult and time consuming in Mongolia where the infrastructure is poor and tourism still in its infancy.

Mongolia:
Lonely Planet Travel Guide
by Michael Kohn
ISBN 1-74059-359-6
For many years this has been the only English language
guide to Mongolia available. The small scale of
the tourist industry and the general infrastricture
of the country make Mongolia rather a challenge
for the independent traveller, and without Lonely
Planet Mongolia, practically impossible.

A
Rough Guide Special: First - Time Asia
by Lesley Reader ISBN 1-84353-048-1
This guide certainly does contain invaluable information
for the first time visitor to Asia (with a special
section on Mongolia). But it is such an entertaining
read that you should get it anyway. In fact, it
is all the funnier for people who have already travelled
extensively in Asia and can appreciate how true
the advice is.

A refreshing new book on all aspects of
Mongolia containing up-to-date information
for tourists on how to make the best of
travel to Mongolia. The guide particularly
focuses on ecological issues such as flora,
fauna and responsible tourism. The enthusiasm
of the writer for the country shines through.

In
the Empire of Genghis Khan
by Stanley Stewart ISBN 0-00-255904-8
Undoubtedly one of the best books that has ever
been written on Mongolia. It captures perfectly
the spirit of Mongolia and its people, and is so
entertaining that one cannot read it without often
laughing out loud. The photographs are as marvellous
as the story.

Gobi:
Tracking the Desert
by John Man ISBN 0-30007-609-6
Like the films of Julia Roberts' visits to Mongolia
this will either make you determined to rush to
Mongolia at the first opportunity to experience
the fascinating lifestyle and astonishing geography,
or (for those who prefer a little luxury on their
holiday) this book will put you off totally. |

Genghis
Khan: Secret History
by R.P.Lister ISBN 0-88029-406-X
An absolutely charming and very readible account
of the life of Chinggis Khaan, based on "The
Secret History of the Mongols" which is the
earliest known written account of his childhood
and later conquests. The places, people and incidents
mentioned are all true, yet so fantastic as to
appear to the reader that they must surely have
been invented to entertain him. |
