The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions
The Cambridge History of the Polar Regions is a landmark collection drawing together the history of the Arctic and Antarctica from the earliest times to the present. Structured as a series of thematic chapters, an international team of scholars offer a range of perspectives from environmental history, the history of science and exploration, cultural history, and the more traditional approaches of political, social, economic, and imperial history. The volume considers the centrality of Indigenous experience and the urgent need to build action in the present on a thorough understanding of the past. Using historical research based on methods ranging from archives and print culture to archaeology and oral histories, these essays provide fresh analyses of the discovery of Antarctica, the disappearance of Sir John Franklin, the fate of the Norse colony in Greenland, the origins of the Antarctic Treaty, and much more. This is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of our planet.

Extinctions, le crépuscule des espèces
Sur une île de l'océan Arctique, les journalistes Emma et Luis vont pendant deux mois suivre une équipe scientifique qui étudie le risque mortel que fait peser le réchauffement climatique sur la faune et la flore. Comment des espèces entières sont-elles amenées à disparaître ? Que dit la science de la sixième extinction de masse que nous vivons aujourd'hui ? Quelles étaient les cinq premières ? Comment se sont-elles produites et dans quel contexte ? Et après nous, le déluge ?... Le biologiste Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu et le dessinateur Alexandre Franc nous offrent une description détaillée de ces phénomènes aussi fascinants qu'inquiétants. Avec humour et précision, ils expliquent la disparition des espèces actuelles et les conséquences de cette sixième extinction.
