[Will go on sale on 24 Sep. 2016] xxxi + 778 pages, 8vo (18×28)cm., 164 figures, 1417 references, 39 tables and 2 schemes. By digitizing Captain Scott's journey to the South Pole the author showed that all previously assumed causes of the disaster were insignificant as compared to the psychological collapse of the expedition due to losing the race to Captain Amundsen's team. This expertly written book is nothing less than a daring challenge to the prevailing views of Captain Robert F. Scott's journey to the South Pole and consequent disaster. Borrowing from various scientific disciplines, Krzysztof Sienicki lucidly argues against each of the presumed causes of Captain Scott and his companions' deaths. In particular, he demolishes the notions of extreme low temperatures, ferocious winds, and food/fuel shortages as the main causes of the disaster. Using neural network computer simulations, he proves that the Extreme Cold Snap, Never Ending Gale, and food/fuel scarcity never occurred. By eliminating the alleged causes of the disaster, the author provides data and arguments that the deaths (Scott, Wilson and Bowers) were a matter of choice rather than fate. The choice was made long before there was an actual end of food/fuel and long before the end of the physical strength needed to reach delusive salvation at One Ton Depôt. Hardcover, Ausgabe: 1st. Label: Open Academic Press Berlin, Open Academic Press Berlin, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2016-09-24, Studio: Open Academic Press Berlin, Verkaufsrang: 1594242.
