I hadn't even heard of, let alone seen, the series mentioned by some reviewers. I picked up the book as I was intrigued by the barron landscape on the cover.
This book is about the authors travels to find the coldest, dryest, hottest and wettest habited placed on earth. The opening chapters about his travells in Siberia fascinated me so much that I have since gone on to read further books about the place. The minute he gets off the train in Siberia and it is so cold it phsically hurts to breathe, I was transported to the journey with him. I thoroughly enjoyed this section as it was interwoven with history about the region awell as tales of jumping through ice in minus 40 degrees!
I read this book during the first year of my Geography degree and can tell you that it was absolutely priceless. It was also referred to, though not as much during my second and third years. A really good book for an introduction to, as the title suggests, environmental issues.

This is a light, humorous account of two trips to Mongolia, either side of the Communist watershed. A lot has changed in Mongolia and Middleton had the opportunity to see both sides and also to witness a country struggle to reinvent intself after the oppression of the last fifty years. There is a lot that is bleak in this book, but there is also a lot of hope and a lot of spirit. For the first time in many, many years Mongolia has a future which the peoples themselves can shape. No-one expects it to be easy but everybody is delighted.
