Produktbeschreibung

This volume reviews the evidence from plants of the Arctic's past 75 million years which help reconstruct this strange and romantic place. For the first time work from all the countries close to the Arctic Circle comes together in the same volume, and the basis for further cooperation between America, Europe and Russia is explained.
