While it is inevitably overshadowed by the imperial splendour of the country's capital cities, this unique phenomenon is regarded as the most distinctive national expression of traditional Russian artistic culture and at the same time as a significant part of humanity's worldwide architectural heritage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chief intention of the book is to present the regionally specific features of the wooden churches of the Russian North, which vary from area to area for local natural or historical reasons. This approach touches upon the very important questions of the \u003ci\u003etypology \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eclassification \u003c\/i\u003eof the multiplicity of architectural forms. The \"regional view\" entails giving clear definitions of the ambiguous terms \"architectural school\" and \"tradition\", explaining the origins and shaping impulses for the different regional clusters of objects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructurally the book presents a history of the development of wooden church architecture in the Russian North and then follows the key points of the mediaeval Russian expansion along the waterways from Novgorod into the North - he Svir' River, Lake Onego, the town of Kargopol' and the River Onega, the White Sea, the Rivers Dvina, Pinega and Mezen' - those areas that still retain the most splendid pieces of Russian regional wooden church architecture. The study is based on field research and provides an up-to-date, multi-faceted view of Russian wooden architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvgeny Khodakovsky\u003c\/strong\u003e is Head of the Department of Russian Art History at St Petersburg State University.
