布兰克编著的《中亚野生动物生态现状与保护管理(英文版)(精)》综述了中亚各国人民现行动物研究方面的最新成果。书中介绍了动物在中亚平原和山区的地理分布，动物对不同环境的适应性，人类活动对其影响，政府和民间组织为保护动物进行的努力。附录中列出了中亚分布的动物物种。

布兰克编著的《中亚野生动物生态现状与保护管理(英文版)(精)》内容简介：The book is a review of the information presently available on zoological research in the former Soviet Central Asia. Much of our data was collected and translated from scientific studies that were previously only reported in Russian. We tried to include all aspects of the current zoology in Central Asia: paleozoology, zoogeogra-phy, animal adaptations to different environments, biological distinctiveness of animal distributions in the plainsand mountains, impacts from human activities, and the present status of various animal species, as well asconservation efforts of governmental and non-governmental organizations. In addition, we have included shortdescriptions, with maps of distribution, for some of the most important representatives of wildlife in this region:from numerous to rare and extinct species, animals for which there is a lack of information, and the biological sourcesof many diseases. In the appendixes, we have included a full list of vertebrate species for each Central Asia republic,along with a combined list of wildlife of the entire Central Asian ecosystem. We believe that this book will be interest-ing to teachers and university students, scientists, and all people everywhere who love nature.
