The Polar And Tropical Worlds: A Popular And Scientific Description Of Man And Nature is a book written by G. Hartwig and first published in 1876. The book provides a comprehensive description of the polar and tropical regions of the world, including their geography, climate, flora, fauna, and the people who inhabit them. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the polar world. It describes the Arctic and Antarctic regions, including their geography, climate, and the animals that live there, such as polar bears, walruses, and penguins. The book also discusses the history of polar exploration and the challenges faced by explorers in these harsh environments.The second part of the book focuses on the tropical world. It describes the equatorial regions of the world, including their geography, climate, and the plants and animals that live there, such as monkeys, parrots, and tropical flowers. The book also discusses the cultures and societies of the people who live in these regions, including their customs, religions, and traditions.Throughout the book, Hartwig provides a wealth of scientific information about the natural world, including detailed descriptions of the anatomy and behavior of various animals. However, the book is also written in a popular style, making it accessible to a general audience. Overall, The Polar And Tropical Worlds: A Popular And Scientific Description Of Man And Nature is a fascinating exploration of two very different regions of the world, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural world and human cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
