Produktinformationen zu „Antarctica (ePub)“
The acclaimed science writer presents a wide-ranging exploration of Antarctica's history, nature, and global significance in this "rollicking good read" (Kirkus).
From the early expeditions of Ernest Shackleton to David Attenborough's documentary series Frozen Planet, the continent of Antarctica has captured the world's imagination. After the Antarctic Treaty of 1961, decades of scientific research revealed the true extent of its many mysteries. Now former Nature magazine staff writer Gabrielle Walker tells the full story of Antarctica-from its fascinating history to its uncertain future and the international teams of researchers who brave its forbidding climate.
Drawing on her broad travels across the continent, Walker weaves all the significant threads of life on the vast ice sheet into a multifaceted narrative, illuminating what it really feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people. She chronicles cutting-edge science experiments, visits to the South Pole, and unsettling portents about our future in an age of global warming.
"We are all anxious Antarctic watchers now, and Walker's book is the essential primer."-The Guardian, UK
