Octavo, laminated boards,530 pp.,colour photographs, figures, tables, maps. Yuri Ivanovich Chernov is one of the greatest modern experts in ecology and biogeography, Arctic regions in particular, not only in Russia but globally. His main monographs are "Nature Zonation and Terrestrial Animal Life" (1975), "Structure of the Animal Population of the Subarctic" (1978) and "Life of the Tundra" (1980), all in Russian. The latter book was later published in English as "The Living Tundra" (1985) with Cambridge University Press and, together with the second edition, for 20 years became the only truly indispensable manual of tundra science in the world. In the present collection of papers, some of Y. I. Chernov's students or followers attempt to reflect upon a number of the synecological and biogeographical paradigms he advanced. The constituent papers seem to unite their authors' urges towards arriving from facts to a phenomenon, and from phenomena to patterns, this being so characteristic to the way of thinking of Yuri Ivanovich himself. The volume contains review papers on yeast, myxomicetes, soil microfungi, mosses, higher plants, nematodes, oribatid mites, millipedes, spiders, collembolans, ants, beetles, butterflies, and birds. The book is addressed to botanists and zoologists, ecologists, biogeographers and anyone interested in the nature of the polar and adjacent regions. …

An essential management tool for the discovery and analysis of biodiversity is a comprehensive taxonomic catalogie of organisms. One such catalogue for the Diplopoda is the monumental Nomenclator generum et familiarum Diplopodorum published in 1971 and authored by C. A. W. Jeekel. The present volume follows this pioneering example by listing all generic and family-group names in the Diplopoda described between 1 January 1958 and 31 December 1999 with full literature citations. With these two works, the world community now has available a complete catalogue of all generic and family-group names in this class. These constitute a tool to facilitate the science of Diplopodology and advances us one step closer to our ultimate objective of discovering and describing the world s species. Sofia.
