William C. Engels

"A Walk Across Mongolia: Lessons in Progress from Sacred Mother Mountain to Mother Lake" by Pullman author William C. Engels recounts his adventures, encounters with the land and people, and psychological journey during a northbound trek across the country in the summer of 2002. Readers will meet rural folk adjusting to life in a new democracy, learn about the plants, animals, and history along his route, and watch the landscape gradually transform itself from desert to steppe to Siberian forest and stunning Lake Khövsgöl.
