Title in English: A Hundred Views of Antarctica
The book offers one hundred questions and answers about Antarctica. In several sections, the authors, participants in Antarctic research, present the continent, the history of its discovery, and its geology, and address climatological issues and the effects of global warming in Antarctica. In the biological sciences sections, they discuss the animals, including microorganisms, and plants of Antarctica. The conclusion is dedicated to the Czech Antarctic research programme, interesting facts from the Czech J. G. Mendel station, information about its construction and operation since 2006, and about James Ross Island where it is located.
The Mezi žánry ("Between Genres") series is open to all authors with the ambition to reach readers through their own distinctive voice, whether expressed in prose, illustration, poetry, or essayistic writing.
The book is also available in English.
