Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. SHORTLISTED for ACT Book of the YearRUNNER-UP in the Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize 2019'An apparition of an adult wandering albatross comes into view. A small flutter and powerful wings arch upward in a slow, poised descent to feed the waiting mouth. Fluffy chicks, half-grown, huddle close to the grass. One strides over to a neighbouring giant petrel chick and picks a fight. They remind me of bored teenagers filling in time between snacks.'Latitude 540 02 South, Longitude 370 14' West: Prion Island, South GeorgiaUnimpeded by any landmass, the mysterious Southern Ocean flows completely around Earth from west to east between the seasonally shifting icy continent of Antarctica and the coastlines and islands of Australia, New Zealand, South America and South Africa.Weaving together sea captains' journals, whalers' log books, explorers' letters, scientific research and ancient beliefs with her own voyage of discovery, Joy McCann reveals the secrets of a little-known ocean and its importance as a barometer of climate change.'a thrillingly hybrid creation, drawing together elements of environmental and intellectual history, science and personal observation to illuminate not just the physical and ecological reality of this loneliest of wildernesses but also the ways humans have understood itthe book is ultimately a hymn to connection and wonder, and a recognition of the myriad ways in which the Southern Ocean touches all of us.' James Bradley, The Australian'This bracing history charts the myths, the exploration and the inhabitants of the all-too-real and wild circumpolar ocean to our south. It's a vast and potentially unwieldy subject that McCann deftly distils to its essentials, from the ocean's winds and icy currents to the krill that sustain its depths and the albatross that cruise its skies.' Sydney Morning Herald, Pick of the Week, 4 August 2018'Using the best of her expertise as a respected historian and researcher, Joy McCann asks us to think about the Southern Ocean as more than just a 'remote scientific laboratory, or as a source of food or prosperity'.A wonderful book club text or book to spark dinner table conversation.' Jo Printz, ABC Central Victoria Breakfast'Australian environmental and social historian Joy McCann's history of this spectacular and often mysterious and threatening feature of our planet is both informative and impressive.McCann's wide-ranging research is presented in clear and often vivid prose which conveys her love and respect for her subject. This is more than a history of the Ocean, drawn from scientific investigations and explorers' accounts. It is a fascinating celebration of what the Ocean means to the earth and a call for careful attention to the threats faced by those who depend upon it, especially its inhabitants from tiny krill to the majestic whale and albatross.' Dictionary of Sydney''Written with intensity and excitement', says the blurb on the front cover, and it is true.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Australians have long been tempted by the lure of the ice to the south, and our Antarctic stories are filled with mystery, exploration, adventure, ground-breaking science, tragedy, and triumph.The Antarctic region was taking shape in the Australian imagination long before humans ventured into the high southern latitudes. Through their stories about ice and wind, ocean and wildlife, light and darkness, Australians found ways to make sense of the mysterious realm to their south. In the process, they created powerful cultural connections between these two Gondwanan cousins that endure to this day.The stories of the early intrepid explorers to brave this 'most desolate, cruellest region in the world' are thrilling. The legendary Douglas Mawson and his teams had to learn to first crawl, and then walk, through hurricane-force winds, dig exit tunnels through the snow that continually buried their huts, and haul heavily laden sledges across treacherous fields of crevasses. Despite the extreme conditions and isolation though, there was always a great heartening aspect that these adventurers brought to their endeavours. Whether it was the morale-boosting songs that were sung during the sledging journeys, the joyous heralding of the return of the penguins in spring, or the much-treasured tradition of Midwinter's Day (involving a sumptuous banquet, extravagant attire and a theatrical performance), Australians have always found the warmth of camaraderie in this absolute coldest of places.This spirit has continued through the 20th century and into the 21st, with Australians establishing scientific Antarctic bases and continuing to make vital contributions to the world's knowledge of earth science and climate change.Ice Bound is an exciting and comprehensive account of Australian stories in Antarctica, from the very first imaginings of what may lie to the south, to the inspiring early expeditions onto the unknown continent, through to the remarkable and valuable scientific work that is still going strong today. Generously illustrated with stunning contemporary imagery, as well as fascinating historical photos from the early expeditions, Ice Bound will fill the reader with awe for this spectacular continent, and bring alive the Aussie stories that have taken place there.
