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.
