Celebrating a half-century of taking photos, there are fifty extraordinary photos from the author's work and journeys in the Himalaya, Tibetan Plateau, Mongolian Steppe, and the American West. Numerous small photos and insightful text describe the lives of nomads and cowboys, the celebrations they are part of, and the landscapes they call home. Part memoir and part ethnographic portrait, Fifty Years Among Nomads and Cowboys is a unique record of little-known cultures by a former cowboy, rangeland ecologist and international development specialist.
