This biography highlights Sobral's personal thoughts on the mission, his position, the science being discovered, and the geopolitical situation around him. The reader also learns about the state of science, Antarctic exploration, and cultural-political-issues at that time. The author's critical and contextual analysis of the diary explains more about Sobral and his role in Argentina, Antarctica, science and history. This paints a detailed picture of Sobral as an individual, and provides the framework to depict the world in which Sobral lived and worked as well as his expedition and accomplishments. The book aims to explain the context of Sobral's writings, the significance of the events he described in his diary entries, and the way all of these events tied into history and scientific discovery. 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0621 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aPhysical Geography 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a919.8904 700 $aTahan$b Mary R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0927833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299416303321 996 $aThe Life of José María Sobral$92533276 997 $aUNINA
