Antarctic Bookshelf 1: Antarctica by Emil Schulthess

April 30, 2012

This month over on my Long View blog, I’m introducing a new category of posts called Antarctic Bookshelf. This series will feature the best (IMHO) polar-themed books that populate my bookshelves at home and in the studio.

First up is Antarctica by Emil Schulthess. Published in 1960, it still endures among the most inspired — and inspiring — photo essays of the frozen continent. Not only for the pictures, but for the book’s panoramic format, crisp design, and rich descriptions of post-war polar science too. Find my full review here.
