Cold: Adventures in the

World's Frozen Places

By Bill Streever

 

From avalanches to glaciers, from seals to snowflakes, and from Shackleton's expedition to "The Year Without Summer," Bill Streever journeys through history, myth, geography, and ecology in a year-long search for cold--real, icy, 40-below cold. In July he finds it while taking a dip in a 35-degree Arctic swimming hole; in September while excavating our planet's ancient and not so ancient ice ages; and in October while exploring hibernation habits in animals, from humans to wood frogs to bears.

A scientist whose passion for cold runs red hot, Streever is a wondrous guide: he conjures woolly mammoth carcasses and the ice-age Clovis tribe from melting glaciers, and he evokes blizzards so wild readers may freeze--limb by vicarious limb.

Insects of south-central

Alaska

By Dominique M. Collet

 

How many species of insects are there in south-central Alaska? No one knows. Only a few groups of insects have been studied well enough to estimate the number of genera or species in the area covered by this guide: bark beetles, day butterflies, ground beetles, mosquitoes, and a few more. Most other groups have been only partially surveyed, with many still to be recorded. Approximately 1200 species of beetles, 158 species of true bugs, 30 species of dragonflies, 80 species of butterflies, etc. have been identified for the entire state of Alaska. Attempts to develop a comprehensive inventory have just begun, but the total number of insect species in Alaska may well exceed the 5400 species estimated for Canada's Yukon Territory.
