Description
|
|
|
|
This anthology collects some of the very best writing on the Antarctic—first-person narratives, cultural histories, nature and science writing, and fiction—commemorating centuries of exploring and scientific study and also calling for the preservation of this vital (and now rapidly changing) region. The book includes accounts by polar explorers and writers like Frederick Cook, Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton, Sara Wheeler, Diane Ackerman, Richard Byrd, Kim Stanley Robinson, and even H.P. Lovecraft.
