Vladimir Putin`s intervention into the Georgia/ South Ossetia conflict in summer 2008 was quickly recognized by Western critics as an attempt by Russia to increase its presence & power in the ”near abroad”, or the independent states of the former Soviet Union that Russia still regards as its wards. Though the global economic recession that began in 2008 moved the incident to the back of the world`s mind, Russia surged to the forefront again six years later when they invaded the heavily Russian Crimea in Ukraine & annexed it. In contrast to the earlier Georgia episode, this new conflict has generated a crisis of global proportions, forcing European countries to rethink their relationship with Russia & their reliance on it for energy supplies, as Russia was now squeezing natural gas from what is technically Ukraine. In Near Abroad, the eminent political geographer Gerard Toal analyzes Russia`s recent offensive actions in the near abroad, focusing in particular on the ways in which both the West & Russia have relied on Cold War-era rhetorical & emotional tropes that distort as much as they clarify. In response to Russian aggression, US critics quickly turned to tried-&-true concepts like ”spheres of influence” to condemn the Kremlin. Russia in turn has brought back its long tradition of criticizing western liberalism & degeneracy to grandly rationalize its behavior in what are essentially local border skirmishes. It is this tendency to resort to the frames of earlier eras that has led the conflicts to ”jump scales, ” moving from the regional to the global level in short order. The ambiguities & contradictions that result when nations marshal traditional geopolitical arguments-rooted in geography, territory, & old understandings of distance-further contributes to the escalation of these conflicts. Indeed, Russia`s belligerence toward Georgia stemmed from concern about its possible entry into NATO, an organization of states thousands of miles away. American hawks also strained credulity by portraying Georgia as a nearby ally in need of assistance. Similarly, the threat of NATO to the Ukraine looms large in the Kremlin`s thinking, & many Ukrainians themselves self-identify with the West despite their location in Eastern Europe. ...

The Near Eastern Fells is part of a planned 8-part Cicerone series of Lakeland Fellranger volumes written by Mark Richards that provide a comprehensive survey of the fells of the English Lake District. This volume covers the mighty range of hills, including Helvellyn, that lie between Ambleside & that is flanked to the west by Grasmere, Dunmail Rise & Thirlmere & to the east by Kirkstone Pass, Patterdale & Ullswater. The guide reveals the contemporary pattern of fell approaches, ascents & ridge routes & gives walkers the flexibility to choose between the well-known peaks & the more hidden areas of the District. The guide is structured into 35 sections with each Fell in the area having its own dedicated chapter. Each section describes the variety of routes on the fell & has a ‘ Starting Points’ information box providing details on location, Grid Reference, Parking facilities & any local bus stops. There are also fellscape diagrams & detailed summit panoramas that complement the written text. A detailed introduction introduces the Lake District to readers & provides information on safety in Lakeland & a note on the ‘ Fix the Fells’ campaign to repair some of the most damaged fell paths. There is also an advisory note from the National Park authorities on responsible walking. Four graphic projections of the range also give the reader an overall impression of the area.
