About this product

Product Information

Snowflakes are temporary works of art, tiny crystalline masterpieces, each as different from the next as one person is from another. If you would like to look closer at these marvelous creations - and understand their patterns - this handy, pocket-sized book will serve as your introduction to the art and science of the snowflake. As entertaining as it is informative, this comprehensive field guide describes the many different types of snowflakes, where and how to find them, and what can be learned from their intricate structures and patterns. Also included are handy tips for intrepid snowflake hunters, including what type of snowflakes to expect during certain weather conditions, opportune ways for capturing them (the author prefers the brightly-lit tops of parking garages at night, for example). Illustrated with Libbrecht's own remarkable microphotographs of real snowflakes, the book is itself a work of art, as delightful to look at as it is to learn from, and as full of wonder as it is rich with answers. An excellent guide for snowflake lovers, classrooms, family fun, as well as the serious or amateur scientist.

The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.

  • Field Guide to snowflakes

    I have bought this for my son for a christmas gift and when I got it I had a hard time putting it away to hide for christmas. I love the pictures in the book of the different snowflakes up close. Its a great book even for childern who don't like to read because the picture draw up into reading the information. And it is a book you can skip around and read what ever page you like.!

  • Snowflakes are beautiful!

    This is an incredibly beautiful 112 page, hardcover book. It has wonderful color pictures of snowflakes, explains how snowflakes are formed and what conditions produce different aspects of some snowflakes. It explains how to explore snowflakes on your own. Wonderful book! I am considering ordering more for Christmas gifts. -Karen

  • Field Guide to Snowflakes by Ken Libbrecht

    I saw this book in our public library and thought immediately of my grandson who is attending college in a state with heavy snowfalls. Since he is from the South and has seen very little snow, I thought he would be interested in this field guide to the intricate composition of the snowflake, and he was! This book is detailed and fascinating.
