Antarcticness - Ilan Kelman (Ed.) - 2022

on

This new book is is a companion to an earlier book called 'Arcticness' which was also edited by Ilan Kelman.

It is published by UCL Press.

It can be downloaded for free from the link in the tweet below (as can the earlier book on the Arctic).

While you are there, you will also see that there is an excellent book on the geographies of Georges Perec which I downloaded when it first came out and which has influenced my thinking around my conference theme and several sessions I have presented this year.

Here's the opening lines of the book


The seventh continent, the white continent, the ice continent, the southern continent, the unowned continent, the unknown continent, the highest continent, the coldest continent, the driest continent, the windiest continent, the most isolated continent, the scientific continent, the end of the world, the bottom of the world, the uninhabited continent, the peace continent.

If you are free on the 24th of February (sadly I have a Parents Evening that night) there is also a launch event, where Kate Stockings will also be speaking.

And finally, Ilan is one of the speakers at the GA Conference in April.
