This book is a love letter to the reindeer. Over the years, the author has gathered extensive material on Rangifer tarandus through countless travels and explorations: stories and tales, impressive and curious facts from around the globe. From the Scottish Highlands to the mountainous and lake regions of Scandinavia, into the Russian taiga and the steppes of Mongolia, and across the vastness of North America, Bernhard Wagner takes readers into lonely valleys, heights, and caves following the tracks of these extraordinary cloven-hoofed animals. An exciting journey filled with many tips for excursions into prehistory and the present, featuring over 800 photos, plenty of anecdotes, and encounters with the great reindeer. Reindeer are everywhere: in literature, fashion, art, film, and even in business and sports. In addition to travel and adventure worlds, the book conveys a wealth of knowledge about winter life.
