by Giles Whittell (551.578 Whi)
This guy loves snow! Whittell is a chief staff member of the London Times and has also authored some other nonfiction books and a novel. As we are (hopefully) done with snow for a while in these parts, this will give some context to the nature of snow and people’s reactions to it. The book is not thick but is densely packed with technical, statistical, and anecdotal information about the form of precipitation with which humans have a love-hate relationship. Types of snow, deadly avalanches, champion skiiers and snowboarders, Vladimir Putin, and other snow-related and snow-dependent topics are covered!
