Zugriff:
By situating frozen earth research in the cultures that created and shaped it, Chu demonstrates that the way frozen earth science was used and promoted significantly affected the way frozen earth was conceived, studied and named. The father of modern frozen earth science in the Soviet Union and the creator of the precursor to the term permafrost ( I vechnaya merzlota i ) was Mikhail Ivanovich Sumgin. I The Life of Permafrost i explores the origins of frozen earth science, the ambiguities and inadequacies of the various terms used to describe frozen earth, and the dialectic that underpinned the changing nomenclature.
