Cover photograph: A timber "train" in Outer Mongolia, one of the less publicized countries of the world. The logs are of Larix sibrica, which species makes up some 70 percent of the growing stocks of the quite extensive, forests. The other principal species in this land of extremes of temperature is Pinus cembra.
