Reviews
"[Whittell] whisks us back and forth from the vast to the minuscule, addressing the miracle of the formation of a snowflake with the scientific precision that almost counts as poetry." -- The Spectator, "A wonderful, wide-ranging book, all powder, no slush...Put this book on your Christmas list and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." -- The Times, "There is something magical about snow even when it holds your life in the balance, and this book captures that magic." -- Sir Ranulph Fiennes, "[Whittell's] keen interest and enthusiasm for the topic are apparent...Readers will want to grab an extra blanket when reading this well-researched and fascinating title" -- Booklist, "Giles Whittell shares an engaging love of the white stuff [with an] urgent subtext: that by 2040 it might be a thing of the past." -- Financial Times, A wonderful, wide-ranging book, all powder, no slush...Put this book on your Christmas list and let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Exactly as described except the first 50 pages had been torn out. Good price if it had been a complete book. Prompt shipping. Seller promptly and without hesitation or having to return the book, refunded me in full. I will (and have) used again.
