A book about Astana becomes bestseller in Canada
During the presentation, Ambassador Zhigalov delivered his welcoming remarks where he outlined his country's success in building a strong economy, political stability and gaining international recognition for valuable contributions in maintaining peace. He emphasized the importance of building a new capital for Kazakhstan which became a driving force for the state's economy.
Dr. Albo in his remarks said that the book gained a status of a bestseller as its first 4500 sold out immediately.
"This book lays out a foundation myth encoded into the breathtaking architecture of Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. An omnibus of archaeological discovery, architecture, folklore, and code-breaking symbolism, Astana advances challenging ideas and offers a wealth of fresh insights into the hidden history of one of the most remarkable cities on Earth," a post on his official website reads.
Dr. Frank Albo is a Canadian architectural historian and an expert on communicating new streams of knowledge in relation to the built environment and the cultures of the past.
