Informationen zum Autor Bill Streever is the bestselling and award-winning author of And Soon I Heard a Roaring Wind , Cold , and Heat . As a biologist, he has worked on issues ranging from climate change to the restoration of Arctic tundra to underwater noise to the evolution of cave crayfish. With his wife and co-captain, he splits his time between Alaska and their cruising sailboat, currently in Central America. Klappentext From avalanches to glaciers! from seals to snowflakes! and from Shackleton's expedition to "The Year Without Summer!" Streever journeys through history! myth! geography! and ecology in a year-long search for cold--real! icy! 40-below cold. Zusammenfassung 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.
