Sinossi

Antarctic Mountains unveils the hidden world beneath Antarctica's ice, revealing extensive subglacial mountain ranges. These mountains, comparable to major ranges on other continents, profoundly influence ice sheet dynamics and global sea level rise. This book explores how mapping these ranges, understanding their geological history, and investigating their impact on climate patterns are crucial for predicting future environmental changes. For example, the topography of these mountains controls the flow of ice streams, affecting the ice sheet's overall stability. The book presents a comprehensive view of Antarctic geography, climate science, and geological principles, making complex topics accessible. It details methods like radar sounding and seismic surveys used to map these hidden landscapes. Furthermore, it highlights the geological history of these mountains by analyzing rock samples and remote sensing data, connecting them to global tectonic events. A key focus is the interplay between geology and glaciology, traditionally separate fields, providing a complete picture of the Antarctic environment and its role in the Earth system. Concluding with a discussion on the implications for future sea-level rise and climate trends, the book emphasizes the importance of understanding these subglacial features. By synthesizing geophysical data, geological analyses, and climate modeling, it offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in polar science and environmental issues. The book progresses systematically, building from the discovery of these ranges to their broader implications for our planet's future.

    2022 Genesis Prize Laureate 
    The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer’s Chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla. 
    A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made “the impossible possible”—creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.  
    Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer’s success wasn’t due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values—Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy. 
    Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances—how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world’s largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists, and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer’s implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, “I am sharing the story of our moonshot—the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen—in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be.”
