ENDS OF THE EARTH Journeys to the Polar Regions in Search of Life, the Cosmos, and Our Future

Narrator Fred Berman takes listeners on an absorbing journey through Arctic and Antarctic landscapes, revealing the myriad ways that ice has been intricately connected to life throughout Earth's history. Berman communicates paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin's passion for the complexities of polar regions. His search for fishapod fossils introduced him to the interdisciplinary wonders explored in this audiobook, which range from meteorites, ancient viruses, and cold and light cycle effects on living organisms to humanity's role in shaping these regions. Past scientists and explorers also illuminate ice's integral role in our world's past, present, and future. Berman's palpable excitement and earnest tone connect listeners to this fascinating material. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
