Bill Green is a geochemist and professor emeritus at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
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.
With this book he focuses on the McMurdo Dry Valleys--an area that is deceptively timeless as a stark landscape of rock and ice.
Bill Green has been traveling to this remote and primordial place at the bottom of the Earth since 1968.
