Provides students with an in-depth historic and contemporary understanding of the causes, magnitude and implications of the different types of environmental crises in the countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. *Introduces students to the huge range of issues in the physical landscape
in Eastern Europe and Asia. *Provides essential examples of how to, and how not to, develop a country
while simultaneously protecting the environment. *Uses a vast range of topical and recognisable case material (eg Chernobyl,
Baikal Lake, Aral Sea, Dust Bowl of Kazakstan). *Takes an applied physical geography approach to the subject, tackling
human issues as and when they arise - something that has never been done
before and provides an important new perspective on this popular region.
