The Construction of Soviet Ethnography and “The Peoples of Siberia”
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the face-to-face performances, the legalistic stenographic documentation, the collective crafting of a single authoritative style, and a unique temporal frame as an important background to understand a hallmark volume in Siberian studies.

Introduction: Interrogating the Anthropocene
TL;DR: One hope that this is another ‘untimely’ book that adds to the many voices of artists, poets, academics, politicians, and leaders around the world who have embraced the necessity of addressing the precarity of the Earth and the crisis of our species in what it has been arguably termed the Anthropocene; its euphemism, "climate change" is certainly the more common term, but no better understood as mentioned in this paper.
