"The Story of Polar Conquest" is the story of the many men who devoted their lives to the exploration and dominion of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Some, like the Norwegian Roald Amundsen, found glory and success at the Poles. Others, like Captain Robert Falcon Scott, ended their lives with blackened flesh and frozen blood on the cruel ice-coasts they sought to conquer. Many names -- Robert Peary, Adolphus Greely, Sir John Franklin, and more -- fill the often tragic annals of Polar conquest. Logan Marshall knew many of these explorers personally, and collected the stories of Polar dominion from previous centuries. Republished for the 100th anniversary of explorer Scott's death, "The Story of Polar Conquest" catalogs the successes, failures, and misadventures of Polar explorers, from Viking long-boats to the search for Scott's body.

The magnitude and rapidity of global environmental change threatens the perpetuation of life on Earth. Many aspects of this crisis are familiar to us - the destruction of tropical rainforests, the hole in the Antarctic ozone, desertification, soil erosion - yet we avoid the underlying challenge of a rapidly deteriorating ecological system and the breadth and complexity of responses demanded. Integrating an analysis of both social and environmental needs, the book explores the premises and problems of different paths towards global management. With its emphasis on flexible response, Global Ecology furthers our understanding of biospheric change and of our abilities and weaknesses in managing the transition to a sustainable society.

"My Attainment of the Pole" is a controversial account written by Frederick A. Cook, claiming to be the first person to reach the North Pole. Published in 1911, Cook details his alleged journey, providing descriptions of the harsh Arctic conditions, challenges faced, and the ultimate triumph of reaching the pole. However, Cook's claim faced skepticism and scrutiny from other explorers and scholars of the time, most notably Robert E. Peary, who also asserted to have reached the North Pole. The conflicting narratives and lack of concrete evidence have led to a historical debate over the legitimacy of Cook's achievement. Despite the controversy surrounding Cook's claim, "My Attainment of the Pole" remains an intriguing document, offering readers insight into the intense competition and disputes that characterized the race to the North Pole during the early 20th century.
