Book Description
Twentieth-century communications media have vastly expanded our knowledge of far-away places and people. Names such as Japan, Thailand, India, and Ethiopia have a familiar ring. But there are still a few countries that we know little about--countries that have an air of mystery about them. Mongolia is one of these. A vast plateau, most of which is the Gobi Desert, Mongolia is today inhabited by descendants of the fierce Golden Horde, which, in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries A.D., conquered the biggest land empire the world has seen. The setting for the lost page of Seventh-day Adventist mission history chronicled in this book is on the rolling plains of that Oriental land. The story of the hazards one missionary met and the travails he underwent is told in these pages. - 1 Beyond the Great Wall, 2 Shopping by Finger, 3 Translating and Type Casting, 4 Travails of Travel, 5 Nohai, 6 Camels and Other Creatures, 7 More Wolves Than Trees, 8 "Please Joyfully and Leisurely Eat", 9 Bandits and Soldiers, 10 Devil Dances, 11 Revenge on the Doctor, 12 Three Converts and a Curse, 13 Trials and Tragedies, 14 My First Medical Fee, 15 Following a Star, 16 We Called and God Answered, 17 The War Years

Book Description
Open to the Western world since 1990, the 'Land of Blue Sky' is one of the few places on earth where travellers can tread on undiscovered ground and explore with a true sense of adventure. Homeland of the greatest conqueror of all time, Genghis Khan, vast tracts can be discovered on horse or camel, or in the comfort of a four-wheel drive. Written by Mongolian expert, Jane Blunden, this updated guide highlights its culture and customs, including the deel, the colourful national dress, herding rules and customs, Mongolian throat singing and Naadam, the annual celebration of wrestling, archery and horse-riding. For visitors keen to sample the unique pleasures of staying with nomads, she also explains how and where to experience the traditional lifestyle of a Mongolian ger. The guide offers tips on riding and biking tours, winter dog sledding and summer yoga camps and provides in-depth information on national parks and conservation. Wildlife tours and visits based around Buddhist temples are still Mongolia's strengths, along with the age old traditional herding culture and Nomadic lifestyle, to be seen throughout this vast country. This amazing lifestyle of nomads with their flocks of camels, sheep and cashmere goats herded on horseback, from the times of Genghis Khan, is disappearing fast as families become more settled. The capital Ulaanbaatar is undergoing major changes and offers visitors a taste of city life in contrast to the wide open spaces. The guide reviews new hotels and restaurants which are popping up as business is booming. Mongolia provides all the information you'll need to arrange an unforgettable stay with Mongolian nomads, enjoying the centuries-old lifestyle of a traditional ger.

Book Description
This 2006 Article IV Consultation highlights that Mongolia’s macroeconomic performance in 2005–06 has been robust, underpinned by a run-up on copper and gold prices, declining inflation, and budget and external current account surpluses. Real GDP growth in 2005–06 is estimated at 7 percent, in line with the average pace since 2002. The mineral sector has been a key engine of growth, supported by favorable weather conditions, and buoyant recovery in the construction and services sectors. Mongolia’s medium-term outlook for sustained growth and poverty reduction is broadly favorable, but subject to risks.

Book Description
This 2013 Article IV Consultation highlights economic developments and policies of Mongolia between 2003 and 2013. The resulting balance-of-payments (BOP) pressures have been compounded by negative shocks to foreign direct investment (FDI) and coal exports. The IMF report analyzes that various banking sector vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the business climate need to be addressed to steady the progress of the economy. Launch of new investment law is important to be introduced by the government to improve the business climate and encourage FDI inflows.
