The asymmetry shapes everything — the climate, the wildlife, the human geography, and how each will respond to a warming world. Key sections include: The Poles — Arctic & Antarctic.; OPENING The two cold regions.; CHAPTER I An ocean and a continent.; CHAPTER II The Inuit.; CHAPTER III The other Arctic peoples.; CHAPTER IV The Northwest Passage.; CHAPTER V The race to the pole.; CHAPTER VI The Antarctic Treaty.; CHAPTER VII The Antarctic stations.; CHAPTER VIII The wildlife..
