Adventures

World's
Frozen Places
by Bill Streever
Title Wave is pleased to welcome
back Bill Streever for a book signing just in time for the
holidays!
"The world warms, awash
in greenhouse gases, but forty below remains forty below.
Cold is a part of everyday life, but we isolate ourselves
from it, hiding in overheated houses and retreating to overheated
climates, all without understanding what we so eaagerly avoid.
We fail to see cold for what it is: the absence of heat, the
slowing of molecular motion, a sensation, a perception, the
force behind bizarre adaptations.
From frozen human to ice ages,
from hibernating birds to hybothermic explorers, from Frrankenstein
to absolute zero, Bill Streever's new boko, Cold: Adventures
in the World's Frozen Places, journeys through history, m
yth, geography, and ecology in a year-long search for low
temperatures." ~taken from the author's website
