Review
One of those magic books that comes into print all too seldom.The majesty of this literary effort is surpassed only by the majesty of this frozen continent.
(Prentice K. Stoutit )Here at last is a book that will provide a coherent account of the environment.... Sanford Moss has produced a readable and very informative book.
