Publication Date: October 24, 2008 | Series: Bradt Travel Guide
Kazakhstan is vast – the ninth-largest country in the world – yet there is relatively little information available in English about the attractions of this remarkable country. With the Kazakh government seeking to promote the development of tourism, publication of the Bradt guide is timely.
Located between Russia and China, the state of Kazakhstan possesses an incredible diversity of natural beauty; this guide includes arrangements for visiting natural parks and reserves and special features such as singing sand dunes and the Sharyn Canyon - Asia’s equivalent of the Grand Canyon.
Key historical and archaeological sites are also given due prominence, Kazakhstan having been inhabited since the Stone Age.

What a pity the previous correspondent didn't return his FAULTY copy of Kazakhstan for a replacement. Because that is what it is - a mis-printed copy. This book is excellent, the sort of guide your fellow travelers would want to borrow every day. Highly recommended.

I work in Kazakhstan and live in Alaska. This book was priceless and full of information that made my work and being here much easier. If you're going to Kazakhstan, this is the one book you should take with you and study before you go. The author is a career diplomat that gives good advice and local's perspective to boot. Don't leave for Kazakhstan without it.

My wife and I adopted from Kazakhstan and used this as one of our resources. We felt it was well worth the money. Good explanations of culture and general tips, and helped us find some things to do while over there. Would definitely recommend its purchase if you're heading over there.
