520    This monograph provides a concise introduction to the 
       tangled issues of communication between Russian and 
       Western scientists during the Cold War. It details the 
       extent to which mid-twentieth-century researchers and 
       practitioners were able to communicate with their 
       counterparts on the opposite side of the Iron Curtain. 
       Drawing upon evidence from a range of disciplines, a 
       decade-by-decade account is first given of the varying 
       levels of contact that existed via private correspondence 
       and conference attendance. Next, the book examines the 
       exchange of publications and the availability of one 
       side's work in the libraries of the other. It then goes on
       to compare general language abilities on opposite sides of
       the Iron Curtain, with comments on efforts in the West to 
       learn Russian and the systematic translation of Russian 
       work. In the end, author Christopher Hollings argues that 
       physical accessibility was generally good in both 
       directions, but that Western scientists were afflicted by 
       greater linguistic difficulties than their Soviet 
       counterparts whose major problems were bureaucratic in 
       nature. This volume will be of interest to historians of 
       Cold War science, particularly those who study 
       communications and language issues. In addition, it will 
       be an ideal starting pointing for anyone looking to know 
       more about this fascinating area.
