This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 1530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique richly-illustrated account of the landforms and geology of the world’s coasts, presented in a country-by-country (state-by-state) sequence, assembles a vast amount of data and images of an endangered and increasingly populated and developed landform. An international panel of 138 coastal experts provides information on “what is where” on each sector of coast, together with explanations of the landforms, their evolution and the changes taking place on them. As well as providing details on the coastal features of each country (state or county) the compendium can be used to determine the extent of particular features along the world’s coasts and to investigate comparisons and contrasts between various world regions. With more than 1440 color illustrations and photos, it is particularly useful as a source of information prior to researching or just visiting a sector of coast. References are provided to the current literature on coastal evolution and coastline changes.

Download or read book Driving Down Russia s Spine written by Paul Richardson and published by Russian Life Books. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one level, this book is the story of an epic 6000-kilometer road trip from the frigid shores of the Barents Sea to Sochi, Russia’s southernmost tip on the Black Sea. Dubbed "The Spine of Russia," the adventure tasked a mismatched duo of Russian and American journalists with capturing a view of Russia from the ground, to collect powerful images and honest human stories that offered a more subtle, complex picture of the world's largest country. But this book is far more than just a travel essay. For it intertwines fascinating subject profiles with digressions into historical and cultural themes relevant to understanding modern Russia. It is a story told with humor and with the insight derived from the author’s three decades of intimate interactions with Russia. Among the many interesting stories in the book: An expedition to “The Well to Hell” A music school in one of the most polluted towns on earth An energetic youth activist branded as a foreign agent Russia’s largest manufacturer of barbells (who also makes cloudberry preserves) A roadside berry seller recently paroled from prison A blacksmith who is a Jehovah’s Witness A bone-chilling trip to the foundation place of the Russian state The slightly off-kilter leader of St. Petersburg’s Cossack community A retired village doctor who can’t stop working, because he won’t be replaced A piece of Nebraska transplanted into the middle of Russia’s Black Earth region There were also craft beer makers, ballroom dancers, policemen, restaurant owners, an opera student, a priest, a single mother, an accessibility activist, teachers, docents, a best-selling author, soap makers, journalists, a sailor, a winemaker, and a woman taking on the male-dominated world of Russian hockey. And no trip to Russia would be complete without a run-in with security officials in leather jackets. So there is also that. Taken together, the stories from this epic road trip create a compelling portrait of Russia and its people. The book could not be more timely; recent events show how vital it is for Americans to continue working to understand Russia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Shores of the Black Sea in the Autumn of 1852: With a Voyage Down the Volga, and a Tour Through the Country of the Don Cossacks At a time when the power of Russia seems about to be tested, and its vast resources called into requisition, the shores of the Volga are invested with an increased importance, for Russian Tartary is the gran ary of the Empire - If the Imperial forces are again to be matched with the armies of the West, the country of the Don Cossacks possesses an especial claim upon our attention, for the soldiers which are levied from its boundless steppes occupy the most prominent position among Muscovite troops - So long as the independence of Turkey is menaced by its insatiate neighbor, associations of the deepest significance attach to those provinces bordering upon the Black Sea which Russia has appro priated to herself within the last sixty years, and which compose a ter ritory as extensive as all that remains in Europe of the ill-fated empire from which they have been plundered.
