Von Händler/Antiquariat, BOOK COLLECTOR [53856945], Sydney, Australia.
Sitting on Penguins is above all, a critique of the shortsightedness of Australia's Antarctic policy - which seeks to benefit from our Antarctic claims, but cannot muster the political or national will to invest wisely in the future. The book is an account of a trip the author made to the Antarctic in 1985-86. It deals with his physical and emotional experiences there, such as entering Mawson's hut, being confronted with the growing pollution problem around our bases. Hard hitting but fair, concerned to convey the daily reality of life in the far south, sitting on Penguins carries the reader along with its mixture of information, opinion, personal experience and humour. Maps of the claimed and the unclaimed land on the front and the rear pastedowns. BOOK DETAILS: The contents are clean, tight and sound throughout. The boards are clean and unmarked, with only minimal wear. The lettering on the spine is clear and bright. The dust wrapper is not price clipped and shows only minor shelf-wear. No age-toned pages or other evidence of ageing or signs of previous ownership. A very attractive/desirable copy. Illustrated. 249pp. (incl. index). The unpacked weight of this book is approx. 580g. (Please note: books that weigh over 1kg. (1000g) when packed, will exceed the quoted postage rate to overseas destinations). This BOOK IS IN STOCK and READY TO MAIL NOW. Your book when ordered will be securely packed and promptly dispatched by The Book Collector (Established:1993). **Prompt professional service - satisfaction guaranteed.** Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
