Antarctica is the most alien place on the planet, the only part of the Earth where humans could never survive unaided. Drawing on her broad travels across the continent, in Antarctica the author weaves all the significant threads of life on the vast ice sheet into an intricate tapestry, illuminating what it really feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people. With her we witness cutting edge science experiments, visit the South Pole, lodge with American, Italian, and French researchers, drive snowdozers, drill ice cores, and listen for the message Antarctica is sending us about our future in an age of global warming. 000467453 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000467453 650_0 $$aEcology$$zAntarctica. 000467453 651_0 $$aAntarctica$$xDescription and travel. 000467453 651_0 $$aAntarctica$$xEnvironmental conditions. 000467453 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWalker, Gabrielle.$$tAntarctica$$b1st U.S. ed.$$dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub., c2013$$z9780151015207$$w(DLC) 2012014248$$w(OCoLC)666239998 000467453 8520_ $$bacq 000467453 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000467453 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3304643$$zOnline Access 000467453 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:467453$$pGLOBAL_SET 000467453 980__ $$aEBOOK 000467453 980__ $$aBIB 000467453 982__ $$aEbook 000467453 983__ $$aOnline
