Sinopsis

Polar Survival explores the formidable challenges of living in Earth's coldest regions, examining the interplay between human adaptability and the unyielding forces of nature. The book delves into the scientific and human aspects of enduring extreme cold, revealing how biological constraints shape survival strategies. Readers will discover that while innovation and technology extend our reach, the body's fundamental limitations necessitate a constant struggle. For instance, the book highlights the crucial importance of understanding heat loss mechanisms and the risks of hypothermia in these environments.

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of cold weather physiology to the practicalities of obtaining sustenance and the psychological demands of isolation. It details both the traditional techniques of indigenous populations and the modern logistical challenges faced by researchers. By combining scientific data with historical accounts and anthropological studies, Polar Survival paints a comprehensive picture of life at the extremes. One unique insight is the exploration of how communities foster resilience and cultural adaptation to thrive amidst constant environmental threats.

Jean takes readers on a tour of the beautiful Drome area, painting such a vivid picture of the fields of lavender, sunflowers and olive trees that you could almost be there with her.' - Living France Magazine    The true scents of Provence? Lavender, thyme and septic tank.   There are hundreds of interesting things you can do in a bath but washing dishes is not one of them, nor what writer Jean Gill had in mind when she swopped her Welsh Valley for a French one.    Keen to move out of the elephant's stomach, that stew of grey mists called weather in Wales, she offered her swimming certificate to a bemused Provencale estate agent and bought a house with good stars and its own spring-water. Or rather, as it turns out, a neighbour's spring-water that is the only supply to the kitchen, which, according to the nice men from the Water Board, is emptying its dirty water directly and illegally onto the main road... and there's worse ...   But how can you resist a village called Dieulefit, `God created it', the village 'where everyone belongs'.   Discover the real Provence in good company ...
