What reading level is Russias Gift to the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In all the branches of geo- graphical science map-making, with all the mathe- matical work which it involves, physical geography, ethnology and anthropology, and the collection and classification of statistics their work is large and ex- cellent. Their names are familiar to their scientific col- leagues throughout the world, but are not widely known among the public, and would only be strange here. It is not surprising that Russia, with its varied geographical features and its mineral wealth, s...hould have at an early date given particular attention to the scientific study of the earth's crust, which forms the subject of geology. Even at the end of the 18th century geological museums and schools of mining had been founded, and at the present time the many geological publications issued in Russia are now a necessary part of every geological library. The names of Chernyshev, Nikitin, Pavlov, Lagusen, and Federov are well known to all students of the science for their admirable work in strati- graphical geology, and in palaeontology.
