Brand Antarctica: How Global Consumer Culture Shapes Our Perceptions of the Ice Continent
ISBN: 9781496221216 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Antarctica is, and has always been, very much “for sale.” Whales, seals, and ice have all been marketed as valuable commodities, but so have the stories of explorers. The modern media industry developed in parallel with land-based Antarctic exploration, and early expedition leaders needed publicity to generate support for their endeavors. Their lectures, narratives, photographs, and films were essentially advertisements for their adventures. At the same time, popular media began to use the newly encountered continent to draw attention to commercial products. These advertisements both...

Dieses Buch enthalt die Reiseerzahlungen von Robert Falcon Scott's letzter Expedition, die ihn 1910 von England aus in die Antarktis verschlug, wo er zwei Jahre spater tragischerweise ums Leben kam. Der Autor Apsley Cherry-Garrard war Teil des Expeditionsteams Scott's und fand zusammen mit anderen den Kapitan und andere erfroren auf. Die Expedition sollte die Manner britischer Herkunft noch vor dem Norweger Roald Asmundsen zum Sudpol bringen, doch der Weg dorhin erwies sich als zu hart, sie schafften kaum ihr tagliches Kilometer-Pensum. Daruber hinaus bescherte ihnen die Antarktis zu dieser...

ISBN: 9781108041737 / Angielski / Miękka / 546 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George W. Melville (1841 1912) was a member of an 1879 American Arctic expedition seeking a northern passage from the Bering Strait to the Atlantic. Its ship was trapped in ice for nearly two years, and was eventually crushed and sank. The crew, stranded in three small boats, were left with few provisions and little hope of rescue. Melville was the only boat commander to bring his men to safety, assuming leadership of the survivors after landing in Siberia in 1881. He returned to search for other survivors, trekking over a thousand miles, but found only the bodies of his former companions in...

Farthest North: Being the Record of a Voyage of Exploration of the Ship Fram, 1893-96, and of a Fifteen Months' Sleigh Journey
ISBN: 9781108030922 / Angielski / Miękka / 652 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1897, this two-volume work chronicles the polar expedition of Norwegian scientist Fridtjof Nansen (1861 1930), who came closer than any previous explorer to the North Pole. Beginning on board his boat, the Fram, which was deliberately driven into pack-ice off Siberia in order to drift north, Nansen and his companions later resorted to sleds and kayaks. Running to over six hundred pages, Volume 1 includes descriptions of the expedition's preparation and equipment, the farewell to Norway and voyage through the Kara Sea, ending with the party's second autumn on the ice....

ISBN: 9780774818674 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Acts of Occupation, historians Janice Cavell and Jeff Noakes deliver the engrossing story of Canada's early days of Arctic policy. Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped archival sources, they show how one explorer's self-serving ambition fueled unfounded paranoia about Denmark's designs on the north, and ultimately served as the catalyst for Canada's active administrative occupation of the Arctic. A compelling tale that throws new light on a transformative period in Canadian Arctic policymaking, Acts of Occupation offers much-needed historical context for contemporary...

The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture
ISBN: 9780226721842 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the late 1800s, Arctic Fever swept across the nation as dozens of American expeditions sailed north to the Arctic to find a sea route to Asia and, ultimately, to stand at the North Pole. Few of these missions were successful, and many men lost their lives en route. Yet failure did little to dampen the enthusiasm of new explorers or the crowds at home that cheered them on. Arctic exploration, Michael F. Robinson argues, was an activity that unfolded in America as much as it did in the wintry hinterland. Paying particular attention to the perils facing explorers at home, "The Coldest...
