by Charles Swithinbank

Not exactly an alien, geologist, lecturer and raconteur Swithinbank writes of his experiences as a British glaciologist in the U.S. Antarctic Program in this wonderfully illustrated volume. Rich in anecdote, Swithinbank deploys his wit, enthusiasm and considerable powers of memory in this kind-hearted memoir.  (ANT66, $49.95)
