### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Yurts are mobile, affordable & adaptable, even for modern applications
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2011*

This is the most comprehensive and informative of the books written about Yurts. The introduction includes historical & cultural background ingo. Another section of the book includes simple, how-to-build plans and details for building several styles & sizes of yurts / gers.The Yurt is a distinctively Central Asian building design that was adapted to the nomadic lifestyle of tribes in Mongolia to Kurdistan & N. Afghanistan. Historically, its lattice frame for the 5' high circular vertical exterior wall can be collapsed and moved by camels. It can also be adapted to seasons with thick felts during winter & lighter fabric in warmer seasons that allow breezes into the yurt interior. This allows the Yurt to provide shelter much superior to a tent.  With wooden roof joists that can sustain snow-loads and wind forces,compression bands of rope bound the traditional yurt 'lattice rings' allowing these to support the roof structure. This ingenious but elegant structural design, from locally-available materials (wood, felt, leather, rope), made the Yurt a common nomadic design for centuries throughout Central Asia. Also, these one-'room' dwellings can be built as large as 30'D. Even today, yurts can provide 'modular' or temporary programming needs for rural areas of Central Asia (schools, refugee camps, recreational shelter, etc.)

    I am extremely satisfied with this book
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017*

I am extremely satisfied with this book. It provides in-depth details on the construction of traditional Mongolian yurts. However, it not only describes yurt construction, it also goes into great detail about the Mongolian way of life. I graduated College with a Bachelors degree in Aviation and a Minor in Cultural Studies. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this book holds a wealth of information regarding the Mongolian people. To me, this book earned every bit of the 5 star review. It covers more than one topic and it is very easy to read. The drawings and diagrams are good too. Much thanks to author Paul King.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    cool book
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2013*

I can't help but think of this slender volume as a glorified pamphlet, but :superlative: does it make good use of the space!I believe it has been mentioned elsewhere that this book has two parts:First: an overview of Mongolian history & culture as it relates to the yurt (or ger, as they apparently actually call it. Some words get damaged when a new culture adopts them.) & apparently Mongolian culture does revolve around their yurts.Second: detailed directions on how to build a yurt in three different manners. This contains four subs-sections: general/universal yurt-construction guidelines, details for a Mongolian style yurt, details for a *-istan style yurt, & details for a "weekend" yurt which is apparently super-easy to make & use, at the loss of some strength.I have only made it as far as part-way through the Mongolian style yurt. It makes for lighter bed-time reading than a linux tutorial, but at that time of day anything vaguely math-related sinks into my head like oil to the bottom of a lake.
