'Natural History of the Antarctic Peninsula .. is one of those'magic' books that comes into print all too seldom. The majesty of this literary effort is only surpassed by the majesty of this frozen continent. Dr Moss has produced a book whose scope covers such topics as the physics of the Southern ocean, and its many inhabitants. Lucia deLeiris' artistic ability is superior. A combination of sensitive drawing and technical excelence, her work was accomplished while in the field.
This book is highly readable to the layperson. For those who make the Antarctic trip with the various tour groups that venture into these waters, it should be recommended reading....' - Prentice K. Stout, Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island.
