A Month in Mongolia is a photographic travelogue and reminiscence of time spent in this fascinating country. For those who are contemplating travel of their own to Mongolia, A Month in Mongolia serves as companion to a guidebook such as the Lonely Planet guide for Mongolia and a detailed topographical map. Author Barbara Seiders has traveled around the world -- Paris, London, Geneva, Moscow, Vienna -- during her career working in defense and arms control. Among her favorite travels were trips that she took between 2008 and 2010 to the capital and countryside of Mongolia. She found the Mongolian people warm and welcoming, generous of spirit and hospitality. The capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, is an intriguing mixture of modern and ancient, and the countryside is vast and magnificent. In many ways, the land resembles the area around Denver, Colorado, where Seiders grew up, and even more so the Columbia valley of eastern Washington, where she currently resides. It was not surprising that in her trips to Mongolia, in many ways, she almost felt that she was coming home. With her bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College and a doctorate in Theoretical Quantum Chemistry from Duke University, Barbara Seiders was selected as a Diplomacy Fellow at the State Department, sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Her time as a AAAS Diplomacy Fellow proved to be the launch of a thirty-year career in the field of national and international security. In addition to the Department of State, Dr. Seiders worked for the United States Army, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security. She was privileged to serve as Science Advisor to Ambassador James Goodby, as an expert consultant on multiple occasions to the United Nations Secretary General, and as part of a global security project working directly with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Currently, she is Principal at One Hundred Year Horizons, a company she started to help shape future practices of leadership through consulting, training, writing, and publishing.
