The Antarctic Dive Guide is the first and only dive guide to the seventh continent, until recently the exclusive realm of scientific and military divers. Today, however, the icy waters of Antarctica have become the extreme destination for recreational divers wishing to explore beyond the conventional and observe the strange marine life that abounds below the surface. This book is packed with information about the history of diving in Antarctica and its wildlife, and features stunning underwater photography. The Antarctic Dive Guide covers 31 key dive sites on the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia and includes maps and detailed guidance on how best to explore each site. Essential information is also provided on how to choose and prepare for travel to this remote region, and diving techniques for subzero waters. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone considering diving in Antarctica, and an exciting read for anyone interested in this little-explored underwater world. This fully revised and updated third edition: Covers 4 new dive sites Features revised and updated information for the other 27 sites covered Includes new sections on the Sea Leopard Project and natural product chemistry from Antarctic marine organisms

L'objectif de ce livre est d'expliquer la façon dont l'organisme s'adapte aux conditions de la plongée sous-marine et les causes des limites à ne pas franchir. Il s'adresse à toutes celles et ceux qui désirent mieux comprendre les phénomènes physiques, chimiques, physiologiques et anatomiques en présence dans le corps lors d'une plongée. En début d'ouvrage, on retrouve quelques rappels de physique et chimie. Les bases d'anatomie et de physiologie sont illustrées par de remarquables planches couleur. Puis sont développés l'adaptation à la plongée, les problèmes de décompression, la pathologie qui ont fait le succès de la première édition. Cette nouvelle édition permet d'aller plus loin : au-delà des commentaires sur les tables de décompression, l'auteur présente dans ce livre les ordinateurs de plongée, les modèles retenus et les algorithmes qui conditionnent l'affichage des résultats. Le lecteur pourra enrichir ses connaissances grâce aux annexes et aux références bibliographiques. Enfin, il trouvera de nouveaux apports tels que la plongée au Nitrox. L'ouvrage constitue la référence pour le plongeur qui veut comprendre son organisme et ses limites.

Wastelands is an exploration of trash, the scavengers who collect it, and the precarious communities it sustains. After enduring war and persecution in Kosovo, many Ashkali refugees fled to Belgrade, Serbia, where they were stigmatized as Gypsies, consigned to slums, sidelined from the economy, and subjected to violence. To survive, Ashkali collect the only resource available to them: garbage. Vividly recounting everyday life in an illegal Romani settlement, Eirik Saethre follows Ashkali as they scavenge through dumpsters, build shacks, siphon electricity, negotiate the recycling trade, and migrate between Belgrade, Kosovo, and the European Union. He argues that trash is not just a means of survival: it reinforces the status of Ashkali and Roma as polluted Others, creates indissoluble bonds to transnational capitalism, enfeebles bodies, and establishes a localized sovereignty.
