Make room in your collection for this exceptional book of Antarctic photography by NSF Office of Polar Programs Artists and Writers Program five-time grantee Stuart Klipper. The 110 color photographs, beautifully bound in sturdy white covers, display Klipper's talent in translating scenery into art. With an introduction by Guy Guthridge, a marvelous essay on the transformation of ice into art by Stephen J. Pyne and a biographical essay on Klipper and his work by William L. Fox. Covering the full range of mountains, oceans and ice, Klipper's photographs, taken with a 110-degree Technorama camera, are as artful as they are informative. He includes what he calls ethereal, actual and human evidence, notes on the location of each photograph and captions.  (ANT282, $45.00)
