About this product
Product Information
The awesome beauty and majesty of glaciers, the world of ice which has shaped and reshaped large parts of the earth's surfaces, are presented here through more than 100 photographs and a closely integrated, informed text. Austin Post's series of aerial photographs of glaciers along the North Pacific Coast of North America and into the interior ranges of Alaska is supplemented with ground-based photographs from the Himalayas, Switzerland, Chile, and other parts of the world. The authors clearly explain the features illustrated. Their discussion of the effects of glaciers on the landscape, formation and mass balance, flow and fluctuations, moraines, ogives, and surface details is fascinating for the general reader as well as the expert. First published in 1971 and long out of print, Glacier Ice is reissued in a completely redesigned edition.

Reviews
"The photographs are unique, for no-one else has taken so many extensive glacier-survey flights, and very few others possess the feeling for glaciers and alpine terrain expressed in these photographs. . .Glacier iceis recommended highly for the glaciologist, geologist, mountaineer, or just about anyone fascinated with the beauty of nature." American Scientist" . . . Originally published in 1971, this revised edition [of Glacier Ice] is a truly wonderful bookfor anyone who has an interest in glaciers . . . The book is really made by over 100 black andwhite photographs, many near full-page, which are best described as astounding. The textwoven between the photographs is well written and informative and covers the fundamentals ofglaciers . . . this is a book I will recommend to students of Geography, particularlygeomorphology and I would suggest that . . . anybody else who comes into close proximitywith glaciers should also take a look. I can guarentee it will be worthwhile."--Stephen D.Gurney, University of Reading, The Geographical Journal, March 2002

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
