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.
It provides a valuable summary for those involved in polar
management and is an inspiration for the next generation of
Antarctic researchers.
