Book Synopsis

This title includes images of the stark polar landscape that alternate with gritty, close-up shots of scientists working in the field, as they gather crucial information about our planet's distant past, and the risks that climate change poses for its future.

Trade Review
"Science on Ice gives the reader a glimpse into the challenges of conducting field research in the extreme and isolated environments of the Arctic and Antarctic. I came away with a new appreciation of both the risks and adventures scientists experience, the creativity and adaptability they must possess to work in difficult conditions, and most of all, the fact that they are normal human beings with a strong sense of curiosity that fuels their work. This book will help us understand these distant reaches of our world, and it has enormous potential to spark the minds of future would-be scientists." -Amy Gulick, photographer and author of Salmon in the Trees: Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest"
