More "Mountains of madness: a scientist’s odyssey in Antarctica" by John Long Foreword by Tim Bowden. Mountains of Madness is a moving tale of science, exploration, and human endurance. It is the story of how real science is practiced in a unique and demanding setting. Rather than a presentation of research findings, this book recounts what life is like in the field, where scientists come close to sacrificing their very lives for the sake of advancing human knowledge. Like the polar explorers from the early 1900s in whose footsteps they follow, this team of scientists face the unknown and the unpredictable in the pure and simple quest for knowledge. • | • Contents Foreword Preface 1 A Strange and Hostile Land 2 Of Heroes, Rocks, and Fossils 3 Survival Training: Tekapo, New Zealand 4 Arrival in Antarctica 5 Antics on Ice 6 A Very Good Christmas 7 Dry Valleys, Sand Dunes, and Rivers 8 Back to the Great White South 9 Cape Evans and Cape Royds 10 A Flight of Discovery 11 On Mr. Darwin’s Glacier 12 The First Worst Day of My Life 13 Dancing on the Gorgon’s Head 14 Up the McCleary Glacier 15 A Room at the Fish Hotel 16 The Skua 17 The Ascent of Mt.
