Journey into Other Worlds: Discoveries at the Boundary of Russia and Mongolia is an account of author Esther Jacobson-Tepfer's intellectual journey from a youthful fascination with Chinese landscape poetry to decades of study and field work in the Altai Mountains at the boundary between Russia and Mongolia.

In the process of their inquiry, the author and her husband, photographer Gary Tepfer, had a rare opportunity to closely observe the people who still embrace a traditional herding way of life in remote Asia.
