About The Ice: A Journey To Antarctica
Product Description "The Ice is a compilation of more about ice than you knew you wanted to know, yet sheer compelling significance holds attention page by page. . . . Pyne conveys a view of Antarctica that interweaves physical science with humanistic inquiry and perception. His audacity as well as his presentation warrant admiration, for the implications of The Ice are vast."―New York Times Book Review From Library Journal Pyne's 1986 scientific study is more than just a story of a trip to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. In his view, the ice is almost a living thing, with a mind and a soul that deserves to be treated with reverence. More for academics. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review " The Ice is a compilation of more about ice than you knew you wanted to know, yet sheer compelling significance holds attention page by page..Pyne conveys a view of Antarctica that interweaves physical science with humanistic inquiry and perception. His audacity as well as his presentation warrant admiration, for the implications of The Ice are vast."― New York Times Book Review "Stephen Pyne has written an imaginative book that combines a geophysical description of Antarctica with a history of attempts to explore and assimilate intellectually this remote and strange continent."― Isis "Stephen Pyne long ago realized that life is but a special case of the more general chemistry of carbon and exygen that are constantly setting earth aflame. The frozen waste of Antarctica is thus a glimpse at the future that awaits us at the end of all time, when life and fire finally cease."―William Cronon
