Snow and Ice

By Philip Steele

Blustery and cold weather as it affects people all over the globe: close to home and in the far polar regions. Simple terms (ice, units of temperature, crystals) are clearly explained and shown in dazzling photographs. Fact boxes set out quick information: the coldest temperature ever registered, the discovery of the bog man in the snowbound Alps, and many more interesting tidbits. How modern technology has helped us forecast great blizzards and how people can adapt to their harsh conditions are also considered in this fascinating text.
