 Cold:
Adventures in the World's Frozen Places
by Bill Streever
"Rather than giving the reader a dry, academic
lecture on snow, glaciers, wind-chill factors and
icebergs, he delivers a poetic, anecdotal narrative
complete with polar expeditions, Ice Age mysteries,
igloos, permafrost and hailstorms. . . . This is a
wonderful collection of one man's first-rate observations
and commentary about the history and importance of
cold to the earth and its occupants." - Publisher's
Weekly (April 27, 2009)
