Mongolia

Spotlight on Explorers and Colonization

by Henrietta Toth, Guek-Cheng Pang (Contributor)

Mongolia, a landlocked country in East Asia, is one of the largest countries in the world, as well as one of the most sparsely populated. Mongolia is known as the home of Genghis Khan, who ruled over nomadic horsemen and founded the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century, and the nation's people are still largely nomadic. This book takes readers on a journey through Mongolia, exploring its geography, history, culture, and people. Special sidebars, vivid photographs, and maps accompany this informative text.

The greatest traveler of the muslim world is a good book as it talk about Ibn Battuta amazing travelers in his travel logs.The only main character in his travel logs was himself as he talks about his great adventures around upper egypt.This book is great for people who are interested in history and other cultures as it is like going on an adventure with him.A theme you can take from this book is to never give up, as he got robbed during his adventures but that didn’t stop him.
