"On the tea road: A journey into Mongolia life and culture" tells about the life and culture of the Mongolian nomads in the 21st century. Using the history of the tea road as alibi to meet nomads in their daily life, the book provides information, commentaries and explanation about Mongolian culture in general and about the life style of the people the author introduces in the book in particular. These are stories about real people encountered during a journey throughout the country. The book relates how people of Mongolia make sense of their life in their particular natural environment. Thus the book is a glimpse into a different way of life wherein people create meaning while struggling to preserve a traditional way of life while also looking forward to integrate modernity.
