A nicely written biography. Wheeler (Terra Incognita) captures the thrill of Victorian polar exploration -- and the anguish of a man haunted by the death of his colleagues on the march back from the pole. Cherry-Garrard (1886-1959) befriended George Bernard Shaw, became famous, wrote one of the great books of polar exploration -- and finally married at age 53, living to a ripe old age in the comfort of Merry England.  (ANT168, $14.95)
