书籍简介

来认识一下这些揭开地球严酷环境——极地地区秘密的科学家们吧！

入围2025年英国皇家学会特里维迪科学图书奖

《经济学人》年度图书

“扣人心弦……这本书提醒我们，我们的星球有多么‘酷’，以及我们如何努力保护它。”——尼克·穆罕默德

寒冷、偏远、荒凉——极地地区似乎与我们的日常生活相去甚远。

但这些看似与世隔绝的冰雪世界对地球上的生命影响远超我们的想象，从气候到海洋健康，无所不包。它们甚至可能蕴藏着地球起源的秘密。

《地球尽头》带领读者踏上一段史诗般的探索之旅，从极地到极地，穿梭于企鹅和北极熊之间，以前所未有的视角揭示了极地地区的奥秘。尼尔·舒宾与在极地地区工作的顶尖物理学家、气候学家、地质学家、生物学家和古生物学家会面——他们往往既古怪又勇敢——他以特有的热情和专业知识，呈现了引人入胜的北极和南极新科学。

Meet the scientists uncovering the secrets of Earth's harshest environments – the polar regions

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY TRIVEDI SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2025

AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Thrilling... This book is a reminder of how incredibly "cool" our planet can be, and how we must fight to protect it.' Nick Mohammed

Frigid, remote and inhospitable – the polar regions seem far removed from our everyday lives.

But these seemingly isolated ice realms shape life on our planet far more than we realise, influencing everything from the climate to ocean health. They may even hold the secrets to the origins of the Earth.

Taking an epic journey of discovery from pole-to-pole, ferrying between penguins and polar bears, Ends of the Earth reveals the polar regions as never before. Meeting with the leading physicists, climatologists, geologists, biologists and palaeontologists working in these extremes – often as eccentric as they are intrepid – Neil Shubin presents the compelling new science of the Arctic and Antarctic with characteristic verve and expertise.

'A fast-moving, fascinating book that combines travelogue and natural science discovery... a delightful and compelling read.' Daniel J. Levitin, author of The Organised Mind

'Gripping... Shubin’s captivating storytelling will give you a new appreciation for some of the harshest and most mysterious places on Earth.' Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs

'What a remarkable planet we live on – wildest at its cold and lovely poles. This compelling volume should summon us to defend that cold, the vital task for our time on earth.' Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

'Fascinating. Important.' Spectator
