Bill Green has been traveling to this remote and primordial place at the bottom of the Earth since 1968. With this book he focuses on the McMurdo Dry Valleys—an area that is deceptively timeless as a stark landscape of rock and ice. Here, Green delves into the geochemistry of the region and discovers a wealth of data, which vividly speaks to the health and climate of the larger world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Green\u003c\/b\u003e is a geochemist and professor emeritus at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
