Rivers of an Unknown Land (2004)

beschreibt Wildwasser in den Ländern der ehemaligen Sowjetunion.

Aus der englischen Beschreibung: 
The author describes the rivers of the former Soviet Union in this guide to rafting and kayaking in Asia. 
The book is the only available guide to the rivers of the former Soviet Union.
It includes a review of the major rafting regions of the former USSR: Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.
 
Readers will find very detailed descriptions of about forty class IV to V+ rivers and general description of about one hundred more.

The variety of paddling experiences here is astonishing: glacier-fed rivers coursing down from towering mountain ranges; high-volume rivers the size of the Colorado and the Zambezi; tight, technical runs like those in Latin America; and easy Class III trips for intermediate paddlers to hone their skills while satisfying their thirst for a foreign adventure.

The book contains about 50 maps and 360 photos as well as descriptions of each whitewater run,  information about how to approach the remote regions and peculiarities of traveling in these countries. 
It is a necessity before planning any paddling trip to this "unknown land".
