Description
|
|
|
|
This handsome double anthology collects the very best writing on the Arctic and Antarctic—first-person narratives, cultural histories, nature and science writing, and fiction—commemorating four centuries of exploring and scientific study and also calling for the preservation of these vital (and now rapidly changing) regions. Edited by two contemporary authorities on exploring and the environment, the book includes accounts by polar explorers and writers like Jon Krakauer, Robert Peary, Gretel Ehrlich, Jack London, Diane Ackerman, Barry Lopez, Ursula K. LeGuin, and even H.P. Lovecraft.
