Altai - Claire Thomas

For those of us who've followed the author's adventures and humanitarian work over the last ten years, we're all excited to have this. Being a collector of Ms. Thomas' work I am proud to have 4 prints included in this spectacular book with heart, mind and style on every page. The concise essays depict life evolving quickly in the Altai, how modernity has affected this ancient culture and what of the future? In a world where simplicity is rare and inspiration is needed like never before I find both here. I bought two copies, and will buy more for Christmas presents.

Photographically, artistically and as an important document of a threatened way of life, this book is superb. Claire Thomas has produced an exceptional work of love and insight. Everyone involved in the project should feel very proud.

This is far more than a photo book, it’s an insight into a unique and disappearing culture collected over years, with deep insight and understanding. The quality is impeccable, the photography nothing less than award winning as befits a talent like Claire Thomas, and the words draw the reader in even further and underscore that this book is a rare documentary of the culture that will undoubtedly be seen as a first hand source reference in decades to come.

Ce livre est une pure merveille. Tout y est d’une qualité exceptionnelle : les photographies sont saisissantes, les couleurs sont d’une richesse et d’une fidélité remarquables, et l’impression met parfaitement en valeur chaque image.
