 The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia by Piers VitebskyCambridge anthropologist Piers Vitebsky, the first westerner to live with the Eveny of Siberia since the Russian revolution, brings us an extraordinary case of survival in one of the most inhospitable places on earth. In the long winter ice freezes six-feet thick and the temperature drops to ninety-six below; in the brief summer it rises to ninety above, and the clouds of mosquitoes are as dark as thunderheads. The nomadic Eveny, whose lives revolve around the reindeer herds, have lived in this harsh environment for thousands of years. For two decades, Vitebsky has spent a large portion of every year living with the Eveny. The Reindeer People is his acclaimed account of their lives. Paperback 464 pages - 6" x 8" - (12/06)
