Reviews

""Weiner's divination and analysis of the archival materials of not only academic institutions and conservation organizations but also of the Communist Party and governments of Russia and the Soviet Union is extensive. His material brings to light activists affirming divergent opinions and fighting for personal and professional interests within the Soviet system, even during the Stalin era."" - D.J. Peterson, Environmental History ""A provocative study."" - Paul R. Josephson, American Historical Review
