Encyclopedia of the Antarctic 1st Edition by Beau Riffenburgh (PDF)

Description

The Antarctic is unique, geographically, politically, and scientifically. It is the most remote, hostile, and dangerous continent, while at the same time it is the most pristine and least developed. Antarctica is the only major part of the Earth’s landmass not directly governed by one nation, but under the control of a Treaty, with a multitude of acceding nations. The Encyclopedia of the Antarctic brings together large quantities of information on the wide variety of factors, issues and individuals influencing and relating to the Antarctic. No comparable book currently exists for this region.The Encyclopedia of the Antarctic discusses scientific activities and topics, but the ‘human element’ is also a significant part of the work, with entries on history, politics, legal issues, national research programs, scientific bases, historic huts, the United Nation’s ‘Question of Antarctica,’ compliance with the Environmental Protocol, and tourism.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The description explained that the Encyclopedia was a set of 2 volumes and the advertised ISBN number was the ISBN for the set of two Hard Cover volumes. Only one volume was shipped. A Used Book business should know better.

⭐This is a very solid, authoritative and modern reference on the Antarctic Continent. It contains an enormous wealth of information about almost every possible topic related to Antarctica: geology, biology, meteorology, history, politics, and so on. Entries have been written by scientific experts in each field, so the contents are of very good quality. A highly recommendable addition to your library.
