FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOGEOGRAPHY
The Moscow-based KMK Publishers brought out a manual for college and university students-Fundamentals of Biogeography (2005). The author is Prof. Vyacheslav Mordkovich of Novosibirsk.

He reviews the problem of biogeography's interaction with other related disciplines, such as ecology, the landscape science and biosciences.
