<p>Although less well known than his famous flight over the North Pole, Admiral Richard E. Byrd&#8217;s adventures in Antarctica are just as remarkable. Wide-eyed youngsters will feel the excitement and danger as they read about the isolated and tight little manned station where Byrd lived, separated from his crew; the temperatures that plunged to 60 degrees below zero; and Byrd&#8217;s brush with death when a small stove he needed to keep warm&#8212;and stay alive&#8212;filled the air with carbon monoxide. It&#8217;s a tale of personal courage and dedication, all set against a backdrop of perhaps the harshest environment on earth.<P><B></B>&nbsp;<P><B>Paul Rink</B> spent seven years in South America, working in the fields of mechanical and steam engineering, physics, and electronics. He did intelligence work during World War II, and after a time at sea, devoted himself to writing many books for young teens; articles for such magazines as <I>American Heritage</I> and <I>Esquire</I>; and television dramas. <P></p>
