The Land of the Anka Bird: A Journey Through the Turkic Heartlands (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995756625)

The Land of the Anka Bird: A Journey Through the Turkic Heartland is a reflective visual essay introducing the powerful photographs of Ergun ağatay. The book explores the cultural landscape and geography of the vast Turkic-speaking lands, from the mercantile cities of Uzbekistan to little-explored pockets of the Baltic. It is clear that while divided by distance, the diverse Turkic share far more than a linguistic heritage. Deep cultural connections highlight great mobility across many landscapes and centuries. Spanning both the nomadic and settled worlds, this book challenges assumptions about an intriguing swathe of our planet while celebrating its wildly varied traditions and environment.
