Antarctica: What Everyone Needs to KnowIn this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know(R) series, David Day examines the most forbidding and formidably inaccessible continent on Earth. For over a century following its discovery by European explorers in 1820, Antarctica played host to competing claims by rival nations vying for access to the frozen land's vast marine resources namely the skins and oils of seals and whales. Though the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 was meant to end this
In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know(R) series, David Day examines the most forbidding and formidably inaccessible continent on Earth. For over a century following its discovery by European explorers in 1820, Antarctica played host to competing claims by rival nations vying for access to the frozen land's vast marine resources -- namely the skins and oils of seals and whales. Though the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 was meant to end this contention, countries have found other means of extending control over the land, with scientific bases establishing at least symbolic claims. Exploration and drilling by the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, and others has led to discoveries about the world's climate in centuries past -- and in the process intimations of its alarming future. Delving into all the relevant issues -- the history of the continent, its wildlife, underwater mountain ranges, arguments over governance, and the continent's effect on global climate change -- Day's work sheds new light on a territory that, despite being the coldest, driest, and windiest continent in the world, will continue to be the object of intense speculation and competition. With new evidence that Antarctica's ice is melting three times faster than it was a decade ago, the need to understand the world's southernmost region has never been more pressing.Binding Type: Paperback

Still soft but looks terrible after 1 wash. Save your money
Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
Update: sweater looked great when I received. After 1 wash it looks terrible. Looks like it’s been washed too many times, material fuzzy and piled. After wearing it once, it snagged and the knit pulled through. I would NOT recommend. I had such high hopes. Save your money.
Very nice sweater, especially for the price! I love the details of the buttons on the sleeves. It is SO soft. It’s not super thick as I can see my skin through it when pressing my hand up against fabric. However, it’s not see through when wearing it. It’ll be perfect in cooler weather and perfect in the winter with a coat but won’t cause me to overheat when in a heated environment. I do feel like it runs big. I could have sized down a size. Although I’m not sure if it’ll shrink after a wash or two.

Disappointed.
Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large
This sweater is so comfortable and very soft. It fits well in a flattering, oversized way. But after one wash it is pilled everywhere which makes it look old and shabby. It’s at a price point where I feel compelled to return it.

Super cute, highly recommend
Color: Beige, Size: Small
Absolutely love this sweater, I purchased a size small and it fit perfectly. It’s very soft and can be worn with a button up shirt underneath or by itself. It was true to color and was white and black. Just like the picture showed. It’s not super warm by itself, but with a shirt underneath much warmer.

Light, soft sweater
Color: Beige, Size: Small, Color: Beige, Size: Small
I liked this sweater so much, I bought it in other colors. This review is for the brown sweater, which is a warm brown color. I wear colors in the cool color palette, including cool-toned or ashy browns (see photos for comparison), but decided to keep this sweater to wear in the Fall. Color reminds me of milk chocolate. These are my go-to sweaters! Easy to pop on and wear with jeans or slacks for a put-together look. I normally wear a US Medium, but I returned for a Small. You may want to size down. Sweater is soft and comfortable, quality is great, and the weight is light and perfect for Spring or Fall. They have washed well, and I have dried in the drier for about 10 minutes before removing to finish drying on a rack.
