Record #189524:

Sozialhistorische Studie zur Polarforschung anhand von deutschen und österreich-ungarischen Polarexpeditionen zwischen 1868-1939 / Ursula Rack.

Title: Sozialhistorische Studie zur Polarforschung anhand von deutschen und österreich-ungarischen Polarexpeditionen zwischen 1868-1939 / Ursula Rack.
Translated title: Social-historical study about polar research on the basis of German and Austro-Hungarian polar expeditions between 1868-1939.
Author(s): Rack, Ursula.
Date: 2009.
Publisher: Wien: Universität Wien
Language: German.
Abstract: Explores and analyses social-historical background to four major expeditions from Heroic Age of polar exploration: Weyprecht and Payer (1872-74), Drygalski (1901-03), Filchner (1911-12) and Wegener (1930-31). Lesser-known historical sources throw light on financial security of expedition participants, selection criteria, leadership skills, and health of participants both during and after expeditions. Also discusses extent to which social dynamic and cultural milieu affect planning and course and outcome of expeditions.
