LASHIPA

Editor Louwrens Hacquebord

This full coloured book contains most of the papers presented at the final LASHIPA workshop in St Petersburg, Russia 2-4 November 2009. The workshop was organized to finalize the NWO-bilateral LASHIPA Russia-Netherlands project and to discuss possible future cooperation between the participants of the sub-project of the Eurocore Boreas project: Colony, Empire, Environment: A Comparative International History of Twentieth Century Arctic Science (CEE) and the participants of the International Polar Year project Large Scale Historical Exploitation of Polar Areas (LASHIPA).

The discussions turned out to be very fruitful and the scientific quality of the papers of the participants of the workshop was so good that we decided to publish them in this book to present to the reader the initial results of the two projects.
