With Scott in the Antarctic: Edward Wilson - Explorer, Naturalist, Artist

Edward Wilson (1872-1912) accompanied Robert Falcon Scott on both his Antarctic expeditions: as Junior Surgeon and Vertebrate Zoologist on the Discovery Expedition (1901-4) and Chief of Scientific Staff on the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-13). The only officer with Scott, he formed a close and influential partnership with him and became his loyal confidant. This is the first full account of this Antarctic hero, tracing his life from childhood to his tragic death, with Scott and others, after reaching the South Pole.
