| 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.
