5.0 out of 5 stars Anything but boring!, March 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Siberians, The (Mass Market Paperback)

What a shame that this book is out of print. It tells of the once-forgotten Small Peoples of the Far North, who live on the frozen tundra. It is masterfully written with understanding, respect and shared love. Through education and respect for the land, Siberia has grown and prospered, perhaps more than any other region of what was then the Soviet Union. This book calls for an up-to-date sequel to show what has happened in and to Siberia since the collapse of the USSR.

Mowat anticipated the ecology movement. Has a lot of interesting commentary on the relationship of our production-based system and our world, and compares it to what he was seeing on his trips to Siberia in the 60s.

This review is from: The Siberians (Paperback)

It was quite good, but glossed over the lifestyle of Russians, especially in Siberia. Many are quite hearty, and, I feel, must drink lots of their favorite drink, mare's milk (fermented, of course)..They seem quite warm when greeting foreigners, and that's good...but weather is brutal in winter, and I also think I would imbibe lots of vodka (as they do) just to keep warm...I only wish there had been more natural history or info on the wilds of that area.
