"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 ice is 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 book for anyone who has an interest in glaciers ... The book is really made by over 100 black and white photographs, many near full-page, which are best described as astounding. The text woven between the photographs is well written and informative and covers the fundamentals of glaciers ... this is a book I will recommend to students of Geography, particularly geomorphology and I would suggest that ... anybody else who comes into close proximity with glaciers should also take a look. I can guarentee it will be worthwhile."--Stephen D. Gurney, University of Reading, The Geographical Journal, March 2002

Review

'The photographs are unique, for no one 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 Ice is recommended highly for the glaciologist, geologist, mountaineer, or just anyone fascinated with the beauty of nature.'

'The text is a masterpiece of scientific pedagogy, fitting and explaining the photographs very well; the book will speak eloquently to the tyro but should not let down the expert.'

(Scientific American )

'All who enjoy the outdoors will appreciate this book; mountaineers will want to study it again and again.'
