Synopsis

Explore the sweeping story of Asiatic Russia, Volume I, where climate, geography, and history meet.

This comprehensive volume combines natural science with a rich historical narrative to reveal how the vast Asian empire shaped and was shaped by its physical world. It traces Central Asia, the Aral-Caspian region, Arctic river basins, and the Pacific frontiers, showing how weather, geology, and ecology influence people, states, and ideas.

- See how the climate and geology helped build civilizations around major mountains and river systems.
- Learn about the early Russian explorations, fortifications, and river routes that opened Asia to exploration and colonization.
- Meet the explorers and events that marked the conquest of Siberia and the expansion into Caucasus and Trans-Caucasus.
- Understand how religious movements and cultural groups, including the Raskolniks, affected society and policy in Imperial Russia.

Ideal for readers drawn to history, geography, and the expansion of Russia into Asia, this edition provides a grounded, accessible view of a vast and pivotal region.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
