The Antarctic is one the most hostile natural environments in the world, an extraordinary physical space which changes significantly in shape and size with the passing of the seasons. In this Very Short Introduction, Klaus Dodds provides an up-to-date account of Antarctica, highlighting the main issues facing the continent today. The book sheds light on the scientific, historical, cultural, and political significance of one of the world's most remote regions, providing the background to the physical geography of the continent. Politically, it is unique as it contains one of the few areas of continental space not claimed by any nation-state. Scientifically, the continental ice sheet has provided us with vital evidence about the Earth's past climate. Looking at how the Antarctic has been explored and represented in the last hundred years, Dodds considers the main exploratory and scientific achievements of the region. In addition, he explains how processes such as globalization mean that the Antarctic is increasingly involved in a wider circuit of ideas, goods, people, trade, and governance--all of which have an impact on the future of the region.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin Without Feeling Heavy
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very sensitive skin and finding a facial moisturizer that hydrates well without causing irritation can be a challenge. This one has been fantastic. It feels lightweight going on but still gives enough moisture that my skin stays soft and comfortable all day. No strong fragrance, no burning, no breakouts, just simple and effective skincare. I also really like that it layers well under makeup and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or sticky. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid make my skin feel healthier and more balanced overall. Vanicream continues to be one of the few brands my skin consistently tolerates well. I’ve already repurchased this and will keep using it.

Good for sensitive skin, zero fragrance, leaves skin soft and moisturized!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got this to go along with my Vanicream sensitive skin cleanser, and I'm very happy with it! It is a little more liquidy than cream-like, but it absorbs into skin well and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized. Great for sensitive skin and completely free of fragrance, with a shorter ingredient list that gives me more peace of mind. Very pleased with this, try it!

Great Value for a Good Moisturizer (5- Stars)
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer contains nothing fancy — and that’s the whole point. The ingredients are few but effective, with several ceramides and hyaluronic acid for deep and long-lasting hydration. Best of all, it contains no silicones or parabens. Because it’s noncomedogenic, it doesn’t cause breakouts from clogged pores. Since I have sensitive skin, all of the above are critical for my skin care routine. It’s about as simple and as effective as a cream can get. Because of that, it doesn’t contains any sunscreen, retinol, or other anti-wrinkle components.

Excellent facial moisturizer

Very gentle, lightweight, absorbs well without feeling greasy or heavy. Perfect to use after Fraxel laser treatment. I also like it is fragrance free and really good on sensitive skin.
