Description
Summary:	Nomad is an impressive photography book which presents the harsh lives of nomads. It studies the very essence of nomadic life worldwide. The photographs by Jeroen Toikons, award winner of the first prize "Zilveren Camera" ("Silver Camera") in 2009, are the result of 12 trips he made to the most distant places on earth. With his project "NomadsLife", he tries to capture the traditional way of life of nomads in pictures - for as long as this is still possible that is, since urbanisation, globalisation and climate change endanger the lifestyle of these people. Locations: Mongolia, Russia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Taiga area, Finland, Alaska, Greenland. Text in English and Dutch. AUTHOR: Jeroen Toirkens studied photographic design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. He's been involved in the NomadsLife project since 1999. Jelle Brandt Corstius is a Dutch correspondent, publicist and television program maker. In 2009 he made the television documentary "From Moscow to Magadan", exploring the themes that dominate the everyday lives of the Russian people. In 2010 he continued this series with "From Moscow to Murmansk". ILLUSTRATIONS: 100 colour & 80 b/w *
