NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of James McClintock's Lost Antarctica: Adventures in a Disappearing Land (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). The preview consists of chapter 2, "It is All about the Ice." "The ecological impacts of rapid climate change on the marine life of the Antarctic Peninsula are inseparably linked with the environment and geography," McClintock explains.
"With rare clarity, humor, high adventure and deep, sobering insight, gifted scientist-explorer-writer James McClintock shares decades of experience on, around and under the wildest ocean on Earth. Every person alive should read — and heed — this riveting account of the swift changes now sweeping Antarctica — and the world. If Indiana Jones were a marine biologist, he would aspire to be James McClintock," writes Sylvia Earle.
