Map-a-licous 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I have traveled all over this crazy world, from Nazi Germany to impoverished Indian villages to a scary cave where they keep that crazy old knight. And when I travel I like to use maps. Not those fancy nancy Rand McNally pretty boy maps, but a real man's map, a Gizi Map. Because when you're facing the wrath of God in a box nothing else will do.

Editorial Review:

Major and minor roads are depicted along with railways, distance in kilometers, state boundaries (& disputed boundaries), airports, historical sites, point of interest, and natural features. Index of placenames is on reverse side of map. Legend in 5 languages: English, German, French, Russian, and Kazakh. Scale is 1:3 million.

Editorial Review:

Turkmenistan is one of the few countries of any size left on the globe which is not the subject of a dedicated travel guide in English (major competitors cover Central Asia as a region). Yet, lying as it does at the heart of the Silk Road route, it is a historically and culturally rich land. Travelers can gain insight into the heritage with the clear itineraries supplied of the major archaeological sites of Merv and Konye Urgench and coverage of Turkmen pilgrimage shrines. For travelers looking to explore further afield, this guide spans the whole country comprehensively, including little-known sites such as the Yangakala canyon and the flaming crater at Darvaza. Turkmenistan is currently one of the safest countries in the Central Asia region, particularly where personal safety is concerned.

Features include:
>Information catering to all travelers: businesspeople, volunteer workers, archaeologists, and intrepid adventurers
>Silk Road archaeological treasures, ex-Soviet era relics, and post-independence monuments
>Horse trekking, how to buy Turkmen carpets, and other activities
>Paperwork, visas, and how to surmount red tape

What a jerk. 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 13 people found this review helpful.

It would truly be a wonder if any American was granted a visa to Turkmenistan again after this guy's visit. I found this in my library, and was VERY excited, you don't hear too much about Turkmenistan. However; reading some of the passages in the book made me cringe....The author treats his host family like garbage, he acts arrogant and superior to all the Turkmen he meets. This is Turkmenistan! Lighten up! Sure it's difficult, but for the sake of your readers, stop complaining! I kept hoping that somehow, in the pages, the author would reveal he was just kidding, that he hadn't behaved this way abroad, and would reveal the book was actually a parody of the obnoxious American tourist. His description of the Turkmen people..this guy looks like a toad, this guy looks like a fly, this guy looks like a (insert animal). Historic ruins look like UFO landing sites. The whole country is crap, and the USA is WAY better, in case you didn't know, duh. And then he has the nerve to write a book, calling HIMSELF in the title, a "Turkmen Cowboy". Just because you went to Turkmenistan, yelling "yippee ti yi yo" in everyone's face, does NOT make you a Turkmen cowboy.

Editorial Review:

The author of The Owl Papers chronicles his odyssey through Turkmenistan, a Moslem republic in the former Soviet Union, in search of the Akal-Teke horse, a rare equine breed, and the people who breed and raise them. 15,000 first printing.

Not user-friendly 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 12 people found this review helpful.

I am returning this item because:
-Proper names are not spelled in standard English forms (the publisher of this map is in Germany)
-It is difficult to read the map - it is a topographic map, which is unnecessary and makes it difficult to find and read the cities, notes etc. printed in red.

Even if one is familiar with the region it is difficult to find things on this map!

Nelles Central Asia Map 5 out of 5 stars.

A great overview of the region

I like this map because the colors are subtle and the shading shows how very mountainous the region actually is. It helps to understand how the political boundaries came to exist. I also like that the parks, museums, and other things to see are marked directly on the map, so I don't have to hunt for anything in an index.

HELPFUL MAP 5 out of 5 stars.

I used this when I took a tour along the ancient Silk Road. It showed all the spots we visited in Uzbekistan and Krybyzstan.
