Liberators and Patriots of Latin America: Biographies of 23 Leaders from Dona Marina (1505-1530) to Bishop Romero (1917-1980) Book

I'm not going to lie, after spending nearly a decade studying extreme environments and researching historical records of polar exploration, I thought I had learned just about everything there was to know about Antarctica. John Stewart's "Antarctica: An Encyclopedia" made me rethink how much I thought I knew. This two volume hardcover consists of 1758 pages, each page divided into three columns and written in a relatively small font. This book goes over nearly every landmark, every glacier, and every person of interest in the entire history of Antarctica. I find it difficult to imagine if there were any that were missed. Of course, it is not reasonable to read a nearly 2000 page encyclopedia to verify, but I will state that any person interested in Antarctica who needs a solid reference encyclopedia should consider this book. The only thing that I can imagine would make this a better book is if there were some photos or a map like many other encyclopedias would have.
