I recently
got an interesting book in the mail to review which is perfect for this time of
year called The Snowflake Winter’s Frozen Artistry By Kenneth Libbrecht and
Rachel Wing. From ten thousand feet above the Earth, a snowflake begins its
fall. Its journey starts when ice forms around a nucleus of dust and is blown
by the winds through clouds where the crystals blossom into tiny ice stars.
Because it weighs next to nothing, a snow crystal may take hours to
fall--finally landing where Caltech physicist Kenneth Libbrecht can use
microphotography to record the tiny, intricate, frozen artistry of the
snowflake. In The Snowflake: Winter's Frozen Artistry,
Libbrecht teams with author Rachel Wing to create the most fascinating book on
snowflakes ever published. This book defines the art and science of snowflakes
for generations.
Join Libbrecht and Wing as they charmingly chronicle
the creation of snow crystals, both in nature and in the laboratory. The
Snowflake: Winter's Frozen Artistry touches
the hand of Mother Nature, showing incredible microphotography of individual
snow crystals from all over the world. The book tells the history of snowflake
observations mixed with an entertaining blend of tales of hunting snowflakes,
snowflakes in literature and art, and the science of snowflakes, to bring a
flurry of delightful snowflakes into the hands of warm-bodied humans
everywhere. With this captivating book, we can better appreciate snowflakes,
winter's frozen artistry.
My Opinion: This book will make me never look at a
snowflake the same way again and I found it very interesting.
