Reviews / Votes
"A valuable introduction to the vast literature of the Antarctic. Recommended for academic libraries at all levels." - Choice "This is more than a bibliography. It does not merely lead the reader to the pertinent literature, but through its concise but informative, well-formulated annotations, offers a wealth of substantive and fascinating information. By perusing this volume alone the user would be able to acquire considerable knowledge of the subject." - Polar Record "An invaluable reference book and research tool. It is an essential reference work for libraries with an interest in science or history of the Antarctic and would assist in answering a large number of reference enquiries." - The Year in Reference "An invaluable reference book and research tool." - The Geographical Journal "This is the book that the Antarctic information seeker and all polar book buffs need." - British Antarctic Survey Newsletter "ABC-CLIO, as well as the editors and compilers are to be highly commended and congratulated for undertaking the difficult task of collecting and publishing such rich information and material." - Polish Polar Research "Antarctic bibliography is a long overdue, concise, and compact starting point." - Australian Library Review "It will prove a wise and indispensable acquisition for all large reference collections." - Reference ReviewsMore details
