Recenzii
'This book should be studied by every paleobotanist, paleoecologist, paleontologist, and archaeologist interested in arctic environments, climate change, extinctions, and early human adaptations to far northern latitudes. Ukraintseva's volume brings much of the paleoecological information available only in the Russian language to the English-speaking scientific community and this fact alone makes this a very valuable contribution. This volume is a very useful compilation of information regarding past environments of northern Siberia and the relationship to the ecology of the mammoth faunal complex. Valentina Ukraintseva should be congratulated on a job well done.' Steven R. Holen, Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research
