The physical geography of northern Eurasia
The series volumes are devoted to major regions of the world, each presenting a detailed and up-to-date body of scientific knowledge concerning a particular region. For most topics on the physical geography of Northern Eurasia abundant literature now exists. Most of it, however, is in Russian and other East European languages and this has significantly limited the number of potential readers. This volume will seek to familiarize, at an international level, those with an interest in this area with the most significant achievements in classical and current geographical research
