Index.The continent for science is also a continent for the humanities. Despite having no indigenous human population, Antarctica has been imagined in powerful, innovative, and sometimes disturbing ways that reflect politics and culture much further north. Antarctica has become an important source of data for natural scientists working to understand global climate change. As this book shows, the tools of literary studies, history, archaeology, and more, can likewise produce important insights into the nature of the modern world and humanity more broadly. .Palgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,2730-9738History, ModernHistoriographyHistoryMethodologyScienceHistoryModern HistoryHistoriography and MethodHistory of ScienceHistory, Modern.Historiography.HistoryMethodology.ScienceHistory.Modern History.Historiography and Method.History of Science.909.08Peder Robertsedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtvan der Watt Lize-Mariéedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHowkins Adrianedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254774703321Antarctica and the Humanities2040950UNINA
