Another good read - The Reindeer People
I've found another good book to read, The Reindeer People by Piers Vitebsky. He's an anthropologist who studied and lived among some of the reindeer herding people in northern Russia. I enjoy his writing style and what's he's got to say about the people, the reindeer and their relationships. In looking for links to give you more info about this book I discovered that NPR did a story about Vitesbsky and his life among the reindeer people. Maybe that's why I picked this book to read. Thinking back I couldn't remember what piqued my interest but whatever it was I'm glad to have followed my nose. One wonders how global warming is affecting the reindeer/caribou and the people whose lives are tied to them.
