“(Monsoon Postcards) doesn’t really read like a guidebook, it reads like you’ve got a friend who’s really connected and committed to these cultures and (has) really been active in these cultures. It gives an intimate look at the people and the heritage.” - Rick Steves “Monsoon Postcards is replete with fascinating stories and useful background on far-flung places that most Americans don’t know much about, and Mould, whose expertise is obvious, is an excellent traveling companion. This very good book is at its best when he’s most curious, when he interweaves observations of colorful contemporary life with richly wrought history.“ - David Wanczyk (author of Beep: Inside the Unseen World of Baseball for the Blind) “(Monsoon Postcards is) a travelogue with knowledge, guts and a sense of humour. Highly recommended.” - Tom Learmonth, photojournalist “(Mould) finds out about a place before he sets off, and seeks out a deeper knowledge when he gets there. And what he discovers helps the reader make sense of what he sees and hears…. You cannot come away from a book like this and not feel that you have learned a significant amount about these large, vibrant, populous, expanding-but rarely discussed-nations.” - Alan Wilkinson, author of Between the Rockies and a Hard Place and The Red House on the Niabara “An illuminating travelogue through Central Asia…. As a genial travel guide, Mould, an academic who doesn’t write like an academic, shows how one should resist the temptations to stereotype a culture too easily and understand it too quickly.” (Kirkus Reviews (Praise for Postcards from Stanland: Journeys in Central Asia)) “Mould is the ideal author to demystify the region and its people…. (An) accomplished tome that covers topics ranging from culture and politics to history, the environment, economics, and human rights.…VERDICT: With a sense of humor, Mould’s memoir will … stimulate interest in this lesser-known region.” (Library Journal (Praise for Postcards from Stanland: Journeys in Central Asia))
