Steppes, Prairies, Pampas. One Year in the Life of a Disappearing Biome
Yuri Maslov-Ostrovich, author of the book "Steppes, Prairies, Pampas" - a naturalist writer, ecologist, author of many popular science books, has an amazing ability to talk about nature, wild plants and animals as if you were observing their lives, not sitting in a chair, but traveling across endless expanses.
The author will take readers to where steppes, prairies and pampas still exist. It turns out that there are not many of them left due to the destructive actions of man, and they are scattered all over the world. We will visit Kazakhstan, Argentina, the USA, China, Hungary, and, of course, Russia, where the steppes once stretched for thousands of kilometers: from the Kursk and Belgorod regions to Transbaikalia and the Amur region. Readers will experience severe frosts; feel the spicy smell of thyme in the summer, and the chirping of grasshoppers in the thick grass; in the spring they will admire graceful cranes and learn many amazing and interesting things about the life of this biome.
The author will conduct fascinating excursions at different times of the year through the most important steppe reserves and national parks in the world to tell not only about the fragility of this amazing ecosystem, but also about the importance of preserving and restoring its flora and fauna.
"The steppe must live. Not as arable land or pasture, but as part of nature. As the only home for many living creatures."
The artist Inga Khristich, thanks to her love for the steppes and her gentle, atmospheric, almost living illustrations, when, looking at them, you feel the feather grass swaying, or the impatience of a rider rushing into the distance, has achieved that the book is viewed as a real work of art, falling even more under the charm of the steppes.
