NOTE
ON
TRANSLATION
AND
TRANSLITERATION
Romanisation of Russian follows the British Standard (BS 2979:1958), with the exception of endings in surnames, where –iĭ is rendered –y (hence Zabolotny and not Zabolotniĭ). In the case of Cherkassov and Beliavsky, the names as appear here have been retained in accordance to established bibliographical reference in English (instead of Cherkasov and Bêlyavsky). I would like to thank Anna Afanasyeva for her generous help in proofreading these transliterations. Romanisation from the Chinese follows the pinyin system, with the exception of direct quotes and bibliographical notes, where the original Wade-Giles transliteration is retained. Throughout the book the Siberian marmot is spelled tarbagan, with the exception of direct quotes where the original text or direct transliteration is retained. Translations from the German are by Emily Stavridis with editorial help by Lukas Engelmann. Translations from the French are the aut
