"Antarctica is the coldest and driest continent on Earth - a place for adventure and
a key area for global science. Research conducted there has received increasing international
attention due to concerns over destruction of the ozone layer and the problem of global
warming and melting ice shelves. This dramatically illustrated new book brings together
an international group of leading Antarctic scientists to explain why the Antarctic
is so central to understanding the history and potential fate of our planet. It introduces
the beauty of the world's greatest wilderness, its remarkable attributes and the global
importance of the international science done there. Spanning topics from marine biology
to space science this book is an accessible overview for anyone interested in the
Antarctic and its science and governance."--pub. desc
