What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A welcome intervention in both environmental history and Antarctic humanities. Informed and infused by theoretical work on assemblage theory and regime development, it offers the reader a spirited and humane investigation into how Antarctica became a space of, and for, environmental governance…. There is plenty of attention given to the human dramas and more than human forces and perturbation that encourage and/or frustrate attempts to garner support forparticular kinds of intervention.” – Klaus Dodds, English Historical Review”…The Greening of Antarctica is a deeply informative, thoughtful, and well-written history, which challenges readers’ conceptions on how they think of Antarctica.” – Daniella McCahey, Metascience
