About the book: 1962 / Kirill Vladimirovich Stanyukovich - professor-botanist, participant in many expeditions to remote corners of our Motherland - has been studying the vegetation of the Pamirs for many years and Tien Shan. Nature conceals many secrets, slowly and reluctantly revealing them to people seeking to penetrate into its innermost recesses. It’s not easy, but how fascinating, how romantic is the work of botanists and zoologists who, with the onset of spring, set off for many months into the uncharted expanses of our country! You will read about the nature of the Pamirs and Tien Shan, about the people who conquer this nature, about their interesting work in this collection of stories.
