Donatas Brandisauskas probes the strategies that Orochen reindeer herders of southeastern Siberia have developed to navigate these changes. \"Catching luck\" is one such strategy that plays a central role in Orochen cosmology -- luck implies a vernacular theory of causality based on active interactions of humans, non-humans, material objects, and places. Brandisauskas describes in rich details the skills, knowledge, ritual practices, storytelling, and movements that enable the Orochen to \"catch luck\" (or not, sometimes), to navigate times of change and upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donatas Brandisauskas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789205328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789205329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Donatas Brandisauskas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984333603071,"sku":"9781789205329","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38f9aa6e-1ab7-4878-9ea7-f881056f4deb.jpg?v=1683271784","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaving-footprints-in-the-taiga-donatas-brandisauskas-9781789205329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
