註釋Russia's shift to an incipient democracy & a market economy has not come without cost. RUSSIA & HER NEIGHBORS analyzes the geographical & social conditions that exist in the former Soviet Union. Russia's energy situation, her industrial & agricultural potential, her vast but largely untapped natural resources, her serious environmental problems & the outlook for her future are all examined. Problems in the fourteen break away republics, the civil war in Georgia, the warring factions in Azerbaijan & Armenia, as well as the ethnic conflicts throughout the former Soviet Empire are documented. The book also draws parallels between the United States & its former Cold War enemy. The text is accompanied by 20 large maps, 33 photos, & three graphs. CIA documents & private Russian sources are utilized in addition to more conventional references. RUSSIA & HER NEIGHBORS will be a valuable contribution to understanding Russia for years to come. Size 8 1/2 X 11, 160 pages. Library binding $24.95, trade paperback $19.95. ALLEGHENY PRESS, P.O. Box 220, Elgin, PA 16413.
