Biology and Physics of Snow,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Snow Ecology: An Interdisciplinary Examination of Snow-Covered Ecosystems (Hardcover)
Being at just the right distance from the Sun to have three states of water (ice, liquid and vapor) we are most fortunate to have snow. Snow is the most unstable substance on Earth - snow constantly changes as it forms, falls, and rests on the ground. There are few books that successfully pull the geography, biology and physics of snow together - Snow Ecology is one. The "Handbook of Snow" is now out of print. This fills a large gap and brings current the concepts of regional snow climates, snow microflora (algae) and macroinvertebrates, snow chemistry and the dynamics of snow in an ecosystem. This is designed for those who work, live and study in ecosystems with snow. Content is good science: brief, concise and on point, with enough detail and well referenced in every chapter. A must for all snow scientists on every continent.
