Download or read book Polar Regions Classic Reprint written by Sir John Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Polar Regions The present work is founded on an article written for the last edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica under the same title, and has been expanded by more detailed expositions of the various subjects it embraces, at the request of the Publishers of the Encyclopaedia, who thought that its appearance as a substantive work might supply a want. Its design is to give a connected view of the physical geography and ethnology of the areas comprised within the north and south polar circles, and of the progress of discovery by which our knowledge of these extremities of our globe has been attained. To keep the volume within reasonable limits, the different matters it comprises are necessarily treated in a summary way, but the numerous references to authorities will enable a student to go to the fountains of information.

Download or read book The Polar Regions written by Adrian Howkins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica are characterised by contrast and contradiction. These are places that have witnessed some of the worst environmental degradation in recent history. But they are also the locations of some of the most farsighted measures of environmental protection. They are places where people have sought to conquer nature through exploration and economic development, but in many ways they remain wild and untamed. They are the coldest places on Earth, yet have come to occupy an important role in the science and politics of global warming. Despite being located at opposite ends of the planet and being significantly different in many ways, Adrian Howkins argues that the environmental histories of the Arctic and Antarctica share much in common and have often been closely connected. This book also argues that the Polar Regions are strongly linked to the rest of the world, both through physical processes and through intellectual and political themes. As places of inherent contradiction, the Polar Regions have much to contribute to the way we think about environmental history and the environment more generally.

Download or read book To the South Polar Regions written by Louis Bernacchi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To the South Polar Regions: Expedition of 1898-1900 IN the following pages an attempt has been made to give an account of the cruise of the ship Sout/zem Cross to the South Polar Seas, and of the first winter ever spent on Antarctic shores. The aim of this book is to present to the general reader a simple account of our experiences and of the phenomena witnessed in those little-known regions. The recorded minutiae of monotonous months have been, as far as possible, avoided. So that it is hoped these pages may be read without weariness and, perhaps, with a certain amount of profit, for although in no way a scientific narrative of the voyage, great care has been taken to make any scientific information and fresh facts as accurate as possible. The scientific results of the expedition have been published elsewhere, but a short account of some of the results obtained is given at the end of this volume, and may prove of interest to some readers. It is, no doubt, extremely difficult to sustain interest in a narrative dealing with a locality so barren and devoid of life.
