Today there remain relatively few areas of the planet Earth where man rarely takes a step, casts an eye, or disturbs the natural environment, but most of Siberia is like that. For the time being, but not for long.Siberia, according to some accounts, originally meant "sleeping land". A glance eastward toward the giant land mass beyond the Ural Mountains of Northern Asia will quickly convince you that a new day is dawning there. You can see that Siberia is stirring. Its slumber is ending. The land is awakening. There is movement.Siberia has been overlooked for much too long. Now it is time to look over Siberia.

Introduction to Siberia, circa 1985,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Siberia and the Soviet Far East: Unmasking the Myths (Paperback)
This book has some interesting information and a kind of dramatic factual style to it. It is an interesting read no doubt. It provides a geography style story of Siberia, with chapters on transportation, agriculture and education to name a few. Its an important niche for myself as a western North American; I know next to nothing about Siberia. However, I felt the publication date of 2000 was quite deceiving as (thus far, I'm on pg 65) the body of the text was actually written in 1985. Though I'm ignorant of Siberia, I expect MUCH has changed in the human geography of the land in the last 25 years.
