Synopsis
When Stephen Bodio was a young boy in the early 1950s he saw an image in "National Geographic" which became forever etched in his mind: it was a photograph of a Kazakh nomad, dressed in a long coat and wearing a fur hat, holding a huge tame eagle on his fist. And a life-long fascination with Central Asia was born. Mongolia, a vast country located between Siberia and China and little known to outsiders, was long under Soviet domination and inaccessible to Westerners. When it became independent in 1990 Bodio began planning a pilgrimage to see if the eagle hunters of "The Picture" had survived. A falconer himself, he longed to visit the birthplace of falconry and observe the traditions that had survived intact through the ages. His fantasy was realized when he spent months in the westernmost region of Mongolia with the people and birds of his dreams. In "Eagle Dreams", Bodio gives life to the people, landscapes and animals of Mongolia that have become part of his soul.

Rare Book
Review
"Bodio offers insightful, heartfelt, and often humorous observations of the inhabitants and the landscapes of Mongolia. Recommended for all public and academic libraries."-- "Library Journal" "I always look forward to reading a new book by Stephen Bodio, and this latest work is no disappointment. Besides being an excellent birder and all-around naturalist, Bodio is a keen observer of human nature and culture. His curiosity is boundless, as is his openness to new experiences."--"Living Bird " "very striking and unusual book"--"Washington Times. "thoughtful, learned, full of lyrical passages about country that measure up to anybody writing today. All these qualities pale beside the most salient element of the author's style: heart."-- "Fly Rod & Reel "a beautifully written book."--"The Albuquerque Journal
