The world's ninth largest river, the Amur serves as a large part of the border between Russia and China. As a crossroads for the great empires of Asia, this area offers journalist Dominic Ziegler a lens with which to examine the societies at Europe's only borderland with east Asia. He follows a journey from the river's top to bottom, and weaves the history, ecology and peoples to show a region obsessed with the past--and to show how this region holds a key to the complex and critical relationship between Russia and China today"--NoveList. 607 $aAmur River (China and Russia)$xDescription and travel 607 $aRussia$xTerritorial expansion 607 $aSiberia, Eastern (Russia)$xHistory 607 $aRussia$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zRussia 676 $a915.77 686 $aHIS003000$aTRV023000$aTRV003030$2bisacsh 700 $aZiegler$b Dominic$01242816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148589303321 996 $aBlack Dragon River$92882950 997 $aUNINA
