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\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill Green\u003c\/b\u003e is a geochemist and professor emeritus at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
