The Development of Russian Environmental Thought: Scientific and Geographical Perspectives on the Natural Environment
Jonathan Oldfield; Denis J B Shaw
Synopsis "The Development of Russian Environmental Thought: Scientific and Geographical Perspectives on the Natural Environment"
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the very rich thinking about environmental issues which has grown up in Russia since the nineteenth century, a body of knowledge and thought which is not well known to Western scholars and environmentalists. It shows how in the late nineteenth century there emerged in Russia distinct and strongly articulated representations of the earth’s physical systems within many branches of the natural sciences, representations which typically emphasised the completely integrated nature of natural systems. It stresses the importance in these developments of V V Dokuchaev who significantly advanced the field of soil science. It goes on to discuss how this distinctly Russian approach to the environment developed further through the work of geographers and other environmental scientists down to the late Soviet period.
