THE REVIEW OF THE BOOK BY V. N. ADAEV “THE TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL CULTURE OF KHANTY AND NENETS”. TYUMEN, 2007 // Tomsk Journal of Linguistics and Anthropology. 2015. Issue 2 (8). P. 118-119

Man has been in contact with nature since ancient time. It is well known that the relations between man and nature are irreciprocal: nature perfectly exists without man, but man cannot survive without nature. What’s more, at each evolutionary stage man employs more and more natural resources in his everyday life. At present even the air we breathe is not an exception: it is used for the production of liquid oxygen and hydrogen. So, it is not accidental that such new (and much younger than man and nature) discipline as ecology developed. It is not accidental either that in the foreign research tradition ecology also includes biology, archeology, ethnography and this discip line does not belong exclusively to humanities or natural science. V. N. Adaev takes into consideration the well-known theory of V. I. Vernadsky about noosphere and various points of view on this theory. The book of V. N. Adaev greatly contributes to our expertise in ecology and the Siberian studies in general.
