Download or read book Edge of the World written by and published by Cooper Square Press. This book was released on 2001-11-13 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer and explorer Charles Neider made his first trip to Antarctica in 1969, achieving a lifelong goal of seeing the frozen continent with his own eyes. During this visit and a return trip in 1970, both backed by the U. S. Navy and the National Science Foundation, Neider discovered the rigor and beauty of life so close to the South Pole. In addition to his own experiences, Edge of the World also contains Neider's accounts of Shakleton's and Scott's expeditions, and the story of his own helicopter crash and rescue on the slopes of Mt. Erebus. Neider's account is erudite, literate, and intensely personal.
Book Synopsis Volcanism in Antarctica: 200 Million Years of Subduction, Rifting and Continental Break-up by : J.L. Smellie
Download or read book Volcanism in Antarctica: 200 Million Years of Subduction, Rifting and Continental Break-up written by J.L. Smellie and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir is the first to review all of Antarctica’s volcanism between 200 million years ago and the Present. The region is still volcanically active. The volume is an amalgamation of in-depth syntheses, which are presented within distinctly different tectonic settings. Each is described in terms of (1) the volcanology and eruptive palaeoenvironments; (2) petrology and origin of magma; and (3) active volcanism, including tephrochronology. Important volcanic episodes include: astonishingly voluminous mafic and felsic volcanic deposits associated with the Jurassic break-up of Gondwana; the construction and progressive demise of a major Jurassic to Present continental arc, including back-arc alkaline basalts and volcanism in a young ensialic marginal basin; Miocene to Pleistocene mafic volcanism associated with post-subduction slab-window formation; numerous Neogene alkaline volcanoes, including the massive Erebus volcano and its persistent phonolitic lava lake, that are widely distributed within and adjacent to one of the world’s major zones of lithospheric extension (the West Antarctic Rift System); and very young ultrapotassic volcanism erupted subglacially and forming a world-wide type example (Gaussberg).

Book Synopsis Antarctic Palaeoenvironments and Earth-Surface Processes by : M.J. Hambrey
Download or read book Antarctic Palaeoenvironments and Earth-Surface Processes written by M.J. Hambrey and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume highlights developments in our understanding of the palaeogeographical, palaeobiological, palaeoclimatic and cryospheric evolution of Antarctica. It focuses on the sedimentary record from the Devonian to the Quaternary Period. It features tectonic evolution and stratigraphy, as well as processes taking place adjacent to, beneath and beyond the ice-sheet margin, including the continental shelf. The contributions in this volume include several invited review papers, as well as original research papers arising from the International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences in Edinburgh, in July 2011. These papers demonstrate a remarkable diversity of Earth science interests in the Antarctic. Following international trends, there is particular emphasis on the Cenozoic Era, reflecting the increasing emphasis on the documentation and understanding of the past record of ice-sheet fluctuations. Furthermore, Antarctic Earth history is providing us with important information about potential future trends, as the impact of global warming is increasingly felt on the continent and its ocean.

Book Synopsis The Adélie Penguin by : David Ainley
Download or read book The Adélie Penguin written by David Ainley and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adélie penguin is one of the best-studied birds in the world and is the subject of research programs from a dozen nations interested in monitoring changes in the environment and the food webs of the Southern Ocean. This species' population has been changing dramatically over the past few decades coincident with a general warming of the maritime portion of Antarctica. When the sea-ice is seen to decline so does the population of Adélie penguins. Further south, however, the population is increasing. This book summarizes our present ecological knowledge of this polar seabird. In so doing, David Ainley describes the ecological factors important to its life history and details the mechanisms by which it is responding to climate change. The author also chronicles the history of research on Adélie penguins, beginning with the heroic expeditions at the beginning of the twentieth century. Weaving together history, ecology, natural history, and written accounts from the earliest Antarctic naturalists into a fascinating account of this charismatic bird, The Adélie Penguin provides a foundation upon which future ornithological research and environmental monitoring can be based. It is a model for investigations into the effect of climate change on a particular species. The book also contains many fine illustrations from the accomplished illustrator Lucia deLeiris and photographs by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of God! “It took about two hours for the ferocious flood to finally reach Pune. But it did it in style. Even the soldiers of Genghis Khan would have been proud of such a destructively grand entry. And what happened next was absolute massacre and plunder!” It was a great flood that almost destroyed a great city! But was it a natural catastrophe or a human-made weapon of mass destruction? A 12-year old boy accidentally learns what had caused it. He grows up to become an archaeologist and discovers an ancient box in the same city of Pune. The box, which contains two objects of great significance, has come all the way from Ayodhya! But before he can officially announce it to the world, he goes missing and is labelled as a traitor! 33 years later, with the backing of a politician, his daughter, Durga, goes on a mission to find out what happened to her father and his great discovery. However, she is unaware that a 2,500-year-old evil organisation called Madakhanja is also after the box. Why is the politician helping Durga? Was her archaeologist father killed or did he flee the country? How did the ancient box travel from Ayodhya to Pune? Where is it now, and what does it contain? Why is the Madakhanja so desperate to have it? Will Durga be able to stand up to the Madakhanja’s malevolent power? Niranjan Mudholkar’s debut novel answers all these questions as it undertakes a thrilling and action-packed journey through cities, centuries and coincidences. Join Durga and an array of colourful characters as they fight for their personal causes and in the process discover their own truths! But where will this ‘truth’ take them? Will it shackle them or will it liberate them? And, importantly, will it lead them to ‘The Kingdom of God’?
