About this title

Synopsis

First full-scale history of the Trans-Siberian Railroad up to the time of the Russian Revolution. The author details the motives for construction of the Trans-Siberian, analyzes the governmental and public debate, and chronicles the bureaucratic infighting that plagued the project for years. After covering the activities of the Committee of the Siberian Railroad in stimulating the settlement of Siberia, he examines the railroad's construction, operation, management and impact. He explores the role of the vast Siberian frontier in Russian history and reassesses the methods and accomplishments of Sergei Witte, the Russian statesman most responsible for the railroad. Throughout, the author compares the railroad with similar projects in Europe and America in order to place the subject in its proper context. Illustrated with black and white photos. 240 pages with index.

Store Description

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
