This review is from: Tents: Architecture of the Nomads (Paperback)

This book is considered to be one of the leading sources for available information about nomadic tents and their construction. Full of diagrams, line illustrations and construction details, it covers a wide geographic area. Examples of lifestyles and customs help one understand how the cultures' needs drove the implementation of practical designs. An excellent read for anyone serious about tent history, construction, or nomadic lifestyles.
