Needell -- Polar and global meteorology in the career of Harry Wexler, 1933-62 / James Rodger Fleming -- Science, environment, and sovereignty : the International Geophysical Year in the Antarctic Peninsula region / Adrian Howkins -- The International Geophysical Year in Antarctica : a triumph of "apolitical" science, politics, and peace / Dian Olson Belanger -- Tracking diplomacy : the International Geophysical Year and American Scientific and Technical Exchange with East Asia / Teasel Muir-Harmony -- Geodesy, time, and the Markowitz Moon Camera Program : an interwoven international geophysical year story / Steven J. Dick -- The International Geophysical Year and planetary science / Erik M. Conway -- Polar politics, historical narratives, and Saami prehistory / Noel D. Broadbent -- Stratospheric ozone depletion and greenhouse gases since the International Geophysical Year : F. Sherwood Rowland and the evolution of earth science / Dasan M. Thamattoor.
Summary: "The International Polar Years and the International Geophysical Year represented a remarkable international collaborative scientific effort that was focused on, but not limited to, understanding the Earth's poles. This groundbreaking collection redresses the surprising failure of historians to explore beyond even a cursory manner the richness of the IPYs and IGY as sites of historical and scientific study. In doing so, it illuminates critical aspects of the last 150 years of international scientific endeavour"--
