Reviews for "Moving with the seasons" A portrait of a nomadic family in Mongolia | Mongolia Web News: "Liza Carter traveled five times to Mongolia over four years to document the daily life of a modern nomadic family. Filled with photographs and personal perspectives on daily life, Moving with the Seasons: Portrait of a Mongolian Family is a visual and written portrait of a traditional life in a global economy. The family blends ancient ways of living that have survived since the time of Chingis (Genghis) Khan in 1200 AD with elements of the modern world.  Moving with the Seasons documents a way of life that is under tremendous pressure to change.   “In an age when most travellers whiz about the globe at light speed, Liza Carter prefers a slower pace that has given her a rare and in-depth look at the fast-disappearing nomadic culture of Mongolia. Her timely book displays extraordinary passion and sensitivity for the people she meets and with a careful eye she brings her reader into the cozy felt gers that the Mongols have called home for centuries."
