"Situated directly between China and Russia, the country of Mongolia long had close ties to its larger neighbors. However, since the early 1990s it has become increasingly independent, and many Mongolians have worked to rediscover a national culture that existed long before Chinese or Russian rule. Readers will explore this Mongolia's amazing history and find out what makes its culture so unique. They will learn how the country's government and economy operate today, sample local cuisine and arts, and more."--Amazon.com.
