Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Edition not stated. Quarter cloth. 222 pp. Inconstant and forbidding, the arctic has lured voyagers into the cold for centuries, pushing themselves beyond the limits of their knowledge, technology, and stamina. This book charts these quests and the eventual race for t…he North Pole in unprecedented detail. "A brisk-paced survey of a fascinating subject, A Fabulous Kingdom provides an engaging introduction to the history of Arctic exploration -- with the occasional dash to the Antarctic thrown in for good measure. Beginning with the ancient Greeks and proceeding to the present, Officer and Page bring to life the passion and perseverance -- and, at times, the folly and foolhardiness -- that animated the mariners, explorers, and scholars who sought to unlock the secrets of the polar world. The authors' scientific backgrounds provide their history with a solid grounding -- and a definite sense of place --that are particularly welcome. Portraits of familiar figures such as Nansen, Amundsen, Cook, and Peary are well-drawn, and a host of lesser-known characters come to life as well." John McCannon. Fine in just about fine dustjacket.

Hardback. Inconstant and forbidding, the arctic has lured misguided voyagers into the cold for centuries - pushing them beyond the limits of their knowledge, technology, and endurance. A Fabulous Kingdom charts these quests and the eventual race for the North Pole, chronicling the lives and adventuresthat would eventually throw…light on this "magical realm" of sunless winters. They follow the explorers from the early journeys of Viking Ottar to the daring exploits of Martin Frobisher, Henry Hudson, Frederick Cook, Robert Peary, and Richard Bird.The second edition features a section entitled "The New Arctic" that illuminates current scientific and environmental issues that threaten the region. Officer and Page discuss such topics as the science behind the melting of the polar ice; the endangered species that now depend on the ice, includingpolar bears, narwhals, walruses, and ringed seals; commerce in mining and natural resources, especially petroleum and natural gas; and predictions for the economic and environmental future of the region. Library Journal called the first edition a "winning fusion of adventure, suspense, andhistory." 2001, First edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked copy in a fine, unclipped d/w.
