Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX LIBRARY
The complete story of a unique continent: its history, wildlife, scientific discoveries and resources, richly illustrated with 900 paintings, drawings, maps, diagrams and a collection of rare historical photographs. The Antarctic is the coldest, driest and windiest region on earth. This book tells its story as we know it so far, and compares it with its polar opposite, the Arctic.
With its authoritative and reader friendly text compiled by an expert team of Antarctic scientists, expeditioners and historians, it covers Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands and includes geography, flora and fauna, current scientific research, and conservation issues. There are individual species notes for more than a hundred animals.
