Description: "Some features of nomadic life are so striking to any member of a sedentary society. The drama of herding and migration; the idlness of a pastoral existence, where the herds satisfy the basic needs of man, and most of one's labor is expended on traveling and maintaining a minimum of personal comfort, and hardly any of it is productive in any obvious sense; the freedom or necessity of movement through a vast, barren and beautiful landscape - all these things assume a growing aesthetic and moral importance as one participates in nomadic life and seem to call for an explanation in terms of the specific circumstances which have brought them forth." This is the second edition of this book, published in 1965. Except for a name written in the page opposite the inside front cover, I see no other writing, notes, underlining nor highlighting. The dust jacket is a little ragged along the edges, but it is intact; and it did a great job of protecting the book. Please see photos to assess condition.
