Index. 330 $aThe continent for science is also a continent for the humanities. Despite having no indigenous human population, Antarctica has been imagined in powerful, innovative, and sometimes disturbing ways that reflect politics and culture much further north. Antarctica has become an important source of data for natural scientists working to understand global climate change. As this book shows, the tools of literary studies, history, archaeology, and more, can likewise produce important insights into the nature of the modern world and humanity more broadly. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-9738 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistoriography and Method 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistoriography and Method. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a909.08 702 $aPeder$b Roberts$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $avan der Watt$b Lize-Marié$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHowkins$b Adrian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254774703321 996 $aAntarctica and the Humanities$92040950 997 $aUNINA
