No other continent on the Earth has undergone such radical environmental changes as Antarctica. In its transition from rich biodiversity to the barren, cold land of blizzards we see today, Antarctica provides a dramatic case study of how subtle changes in continental positioning can affect living communities, and how rapidly the catastrophic changes can come about. Antarctica has gone from paradise to polar ice in a just a few million years of time, a geological blink of an eye when we consider the real age of Earth. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the fossil record of Antarctica framed within its changing environmental settings, providing a window into a past time and environment on the continent. It reconstructs Antarctica's evolving animal and plant communities as accurately as its fossil record permits. The story of how fossils were first discovered in Antarctica is a triumph of human endeavour. It continues today with modern expeditions going out to remote sites every year to fill in more of the missing parts of the continent's great jigsaw of life. AUTHOR INFORMATION Dr Jeffrey Stilwell is a veteran of five expeditions to Antarctica and the author of 4 books/monographs and more than 40 scientific papers in international journals. He is currently a research fellow at Monash University in Melbourne. Dr John Long has worked as a palaeontologist for the past 20 years. He is the author or editor of 20 books and has almost 200 scientific papers to his credit.
