The trials and tribulations of a lifetime of scientific research in
Antarctica sounds like a mouthwatering prospect for a book. But in An Alien in
Antarctica, Charles Swithinbank has pursued the iceberg philosophy of writing.
His personal recollections form an oddly prosaic account of the last great
wilderness, leaving the reader yearning for a deeper perspective. Published by
McDonald & Woodward, $49.95, ISBN 0939923432.
