About This Item
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued. (1992). First Edition. Hardcover. 0521361133 . No signatures. ; xxi, [1], 483, [3 (blank)] pages. Illustrated papered boards. Page dimensions: 246 x 171mm. Illustrated. With a short Foreword by Margaret Thatcher. "This book is the first to describe the development of scientific activity in the Antarctic (as distinct from exploration) in all its aspects. Coverage spans three centuries, starting with Halley who laid the foundations of geophysics which was to be the principal driving force behind Antarctic science for most of its history. Although early researchers built up a picture of the main features of the Antarctic environment, the idea of science specific to the continent emerged only later. As the main disciplines of oceanography, earth sciences, the sciences of atmosphere and geospace, terrestrial biology, medicine and conservation developed, the clear interactions between them within an Antarctic context led to teh emergence of the holistic view of Antarctic science which we hold today." - from blurb on rear cover. Series: "Studies in Polar Research". .
