Reviews for Nomads and Networks: The Ancient Art and Culture of Kazakhstan
"Nomads and Networks accompanies a very timely exhibition which should spark increased interest in Kazakhstan, the region's art, and its role in shaping the societies of Central Asia. The book's design is excellent, the image reproductions are well done, and the introduction does a fine job tying the diverse chapters together."—Michael Frachetti, Washington University in St. Louis
