adam_text	Oaniela Liggett ՛ Bryan Storey · Yvonne Cook · Veronika Meduna Editors Exploring the Last Continent An Introduction to Antarctica This multidisciplinary book examines Antarctica, from its geological origins as it separated from the Gondwana supercontinent, to Captain James Cook and crew, the first recorded observation by Europeans, to its present as a research outpost protected from energy exploitation, and a climate change bellwether. The first part of the book discusses Antarctica s physical systems over time - the con- tinent s geological evolution, its climate, weather and atmosphere, and its distinctive oceanographic, hydrographic and glaciological features. This section includes chapters on Antarctica’s geological history; its cryosphere and hydrological systems; and the Ant- arctic atmosphere, including the role Antarctica plays in the global atmospheric system. The second part of the book surveys Antarctica’s marine and terrestrial ecosy stems. Among the chapter topics in this section are biological diversity of the Subantarctic Islands; aquatic and non-aquatic terrestrial ecosystems; marine ecosystems of the Southern Ocean, birds and mammals, invertebrates and fish of Antarctica. The third part is devoted to the history of human endeavors in Antarctica and the politics behind human activities in the Southern Ocean and on the continent, flic contribu- tors delve into historical and social aspects of Antarctic exploration; the governance approach which sets the continent aside tor peace and science; tourism; psychological aspects of human endeavours on the Ice; and Antarctic arts. The final part of the book weaves together insights in the physical, social and human sci- ences to illuminate a discussion of current issues, such as climate change, bio-prospecting, science collaboration, and environmental management. Individual chapters discuss the exploitation of marine living resources; biological prospecting; geological resources; renewable energy; regulatory challenges of commercial exploitation; the causes and impacts of climate change in Antarctica; and the role of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
