The Ends of the Earth: The Polar Regions of the World is Isaac Asimov’s wide-ranging survey of the Arctic and Antarctic, written for the general reader by one of the twentieth century’s most prolific authors of popular science. Asimov traces the geography, climate, natural history, and human exploration of the polar regions, from the reasons the poles are cold and the phenomenon of the midnight sun to the long history of expeditions in search of the North and South Poles. Illustrated by Bob Hines, the longtime staff artist of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the book is characteristic of Asimov’s gift for making complex scientific subjects clear and engaging, a talent that made him the author of hundreds of books across both science and science fiction.
