Campbell David G.
The Crystal Desert: Summers in Antarctica
Houghton Mifflin 1992. Book. Near-Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean NO tears. Tight spine bright pages. 308 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Synopsis The Crystal Desert: Summers in Antarctica is the story of life's tenacity on the coldest of Earth's continents. It tells of the explorers who discovered Antarctica of the whalers and sealers who despoiled it and of the scientists who are deciphering its mysteries. In beautiful lucid prose David G. Campbell chronicles the desperately short summers on the Antarctic Peninsula. He presents a fascinating portrait of the evolution of life in Antarctica and also of the evolution of the continent itself. Annotation The Crystal Desert is not only one of the most eloquent books ever written about Antarctica but one of the best portraits of a place ever published. It is a story of life's tenacity in the coldest and most alien of continents--a chronicle of events during the desperately short summer when the sun sets only briefly. Publishers Weekly Campbell's eloquent chronicle of three summers spent at a desolate research center in Antarctica details the region's geology botany and animal life. Jan. Biography David G. Campbell is the author of the prizewinning Crystal Desert: Summers in Antarctica. He is a professor of biology at Grinnell College. Houghton Mifflin Paperback
