The Edges of the Earth: Journeys to the Poles in Search of Understanding Life, Space, and Our Future
19.99 €
Renowned paleontologist Neil Shubin made astonishing discoveries during scientific expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic. He endured polar storms, traveled through extreme cold, and worked hundreds of kilometers from civilization—all in the name of expanding our understanding of the world.

Reading "The Edges of the Earth," a book both humorous and serious, we'll join him on a journey to the "dinosaur dance floor" that once inhabited the tropical climate of modern-day Greenland, hunt for meteorites preserved in ice, encounter amazing creatures that produce their own "antifreeze," and discover life in the depths of ancient subglacial lakes. We'll remember the daring pioneers of the past who risked and sometimes sacrificed their lives in these harsh regions. And we'll realize that what happens at the poles doesn't stay at the poles—they're intimately and directly connected to our past, present, and future.
