About the Author

Colin Bull is a geophysicist who served as a senior lecturer in physics at Victoria University and later was the director of the Institute of Polar Studies at Ohio State University.

Reviews

"Bull's author description leads off saying he is a "geophysicist, glaciologist and cook" - and that "cook" is no idle mention in a book where eating features frequently, right from the opening of the first chapter: "Oh damn the calorie count! What we're going to need is food." Where so many academics bleed the human out of their writing, Bull has gone to great lengths to ensure the opposite. He can overdo his exclamation marks and quips, but Innocents in the Dry Valley is never a dry read as it combines the scientific aspects of the expedition with a real sense of adventure, Kiwi can-do, camaraderie and comic irreverence."-- "The Listener (New Zealand)" (12/18/2009 12:00:00 AM)
