Reviews

This is a most useful text that should see widespread application in the educational and policy making communities, and among Antarctic operators of one kind or another. The world is not static, change is all around, and there are lessons to be learned from the Arctic that could well be applied in the south to improve matters there. The book is well worth a read. - Polar Record
