Everyone likes maps and maps are always used to illustrate the many books on the Antarctic. Here the focus is reversed with contemporary maps telling the story - one that should be attractive to the widest audience as it is a unique approach complimenting what has gone before and providing something different for all interested in Antarctica.
From the book reviews:
"Australia-based authors Clancy (Univ. of Newcastle), Manning (Monash Univ.), and Brolsma (Australian Antarctic Division) have produced a remarkable archive of maps of Antarctica with extensive annotation. ? Annotations to each map, or group of maps, introduce fascinating detail rarely assembled in one place. ? Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers." (J. D. Ives, Choice, Vol. 52 (6), February, 2015)
"The fascinating book is about the discovery and exploration of Antarctica. ? is a great read as it provides a comprehensive coverage of the story of Antarctica. It addresses a broad audience from modern cartographers as well as historic map collectors." (bergbuch.info, March, 2014)
