A survey ship sailed south to chart wild coasts, and its doctor kept the record. Coppinger's account of the Alert runs from England to the Falklands, through Patagonia and the Trinidad Channel, gathering the natural history of shores few had seen. Storms, specimens, and strange harbors. Come aboard for a voyage to the world's cold, far edges.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
