Abstract for book of Alexander Kovalyov,
"Landscape As Itself And ForMen". Kha008
Two last decades were known for that in Geography and landscape-knowing deep changes were marked, connected with the growth of view instability not only in some separate terms and conceptions, but in general conceptions about structure and function of Geosphere, and also the perception structure that is to depict it. Of course such crisis in science are normal. Moreover they can’t take place, as science is an evolving system with a viscosity. That behaves as a non-liner dissipate system. In landscape knowing during almost the whole XX century a parallel development of two epistem took place, that are connected with two different conceptions. The first one was based on the etymology of the word “Landscape” that appeared in the Renaissance ages and that’s why is more natural, strengthened in its habitual landscape understanding as a picture of locality; the second one that is connected with L.S. Berg’s works and further taken and developed first of all in the ranges of Soviet physical geography and landscape knowing geocomplex. The given work is an attempt to give a systematical description of the first one, in the ranges of which the landscape is looked upon as a daylight surface picture organization. Landscape is introduced as so-called a “face” of the daylight surface – the surface where the geosystem action is reflected.
