Comrades, Ohio State University Press, Columbus, 1989 “Antarctic Comrades” is a narrative of the author’s adventures with a Russian Antarctic expedition that included voyages by icebreaker through the Southern Ocean, a tractor journey across the polar plateau to the South Geomagnetic Pole, airborne surveys of coastal ice shelves and icebergs, and mountaineering traverses of deeply crevassed glaciers. As one of the few Westerners allowed to associate freely with Soviet citizens during the Cold War, the writer is also able to provide a uniquely intimate and thoroughly unorthodox view of the former Soviet Union.

Baroque,
Eastern Entertainment, Los Angeles, 2001 “Baltic Baroque” is a video journal about the author’s visit to Latvia and Estonia with a Russian colleague in polar research. The geology, history, architecture, culture, environment and economy of these countries, including the major cities of Riga and Tallinn and the surrounding countryside, are described and interviews with farmers, scientists, and a veteran of World War II are presented. This video is a provocative introduction to the post-Soviet Baltic.
