Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. 'Who knew a book about snow could be so interesting? Longlisted for this year's Wainwright Prize, this terrific natural history by an award-winning Swedish environmentalist looks at how we got from the first snowfall 2.4 billion years ago to it being an ever-rarer weather event.' - I newsSelected as one of the Financial Times Best Books on the Environment.'Amazing anecdotes. thrilling and moving.' Nature'Sn? is full of character, as condensed with detail as firn (compacted, heavy, old snow) and as beautifully constructed as a snowflake.' Times Literary SupplementSnow. A single word, for an infinite variety of water formulations, frozen in air. The study of snow is physics, chemistry, meteorology, anthropology, geography, poetry and art. It is hope - annually renewed. And it is history, too.Earth saw its first snowfall 2.4 billion years ago. The world's oldest skis, made by hand five thousand four hundred years old, pre-date the pyramids of ancient Egypt. To humanity, snow has variously been an ally and an adversary; an inspiration to countless artists and a place of breathtaking tragedy and survival. But it's always been there. And now it is melting.In 1927, the snow was already more than nine metres deep on Japan's Mount Ibuki when a remarkable 230cm fell in 24 hours, bringing about the greatest depth of snow - 11.82m - ever recorded. Yet it is a fact today that, ironically not only has this mountain's resort been forced to close due to lack of snow, most people in the world have never been near snow: never felt the soft crunch of snow underfoot, never held snow to see it melt in their hands, let alone stood on a pair of skis.As the seasons lose their rhythm, and whole landscapes risk vanishing, shrinking too our planet's ability to reflect sunlight, Swedish environmentalist Sverker S?rlin urges that we take the time to look - really look - at what it is we're losing, in all its multifaceted wonder. And to question, what comes next?'Part a love letter to snow, part a goodbye, Sn? is extraordinary.' Sally Coulthard - Author of The Secret World of Twilight: A Natural History of Dusk & Dawn'Arresting facts and extraordinary insights. Sverker S?rlin is a scholar and writer at the height of his creative powers.' Klaus Dodds, Professor of Geopolitics, Royal Holloway, University of London Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 276.…

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condizione: Neu. Schnee. Ein einziges Wort f?r eine unendliche Vielfalt an Wasserformen, die auf ihrem Weg hinab auf die Erde entstehen. F?r die Menschheit war Schnee mal Verb?ndeter, mal Gegner; Inspiration f?r unz?hlige Kunstschaffende und Schauplatz atemberaubender Trag?dien und ?berlebensk?mpfe. Er war immer da. Jetzt schmilzt er. Immer schneller. Dabei waren die meisten Menschen ohnehin noch nicht einmal in der N?he von Schnee: Sie haben noch nie das leise Knirschen unter ihren F??en gesp?rt, noch nie Schnee in ihren H?nden gehalten, um ihn schmelzen zu sehen, sind nie auf einem Paar Skiern gestanden. Und doch hat das wei?e Element eine ungeheure Anziehungskraft. Der schwedische Glaziologe und Umweltsch?tzer Sverker S?rlin erz?hlt mitrei?end und kunstvoll von indigenen J?gern, tausend W?rter f?r Schnee, Schneeengeln und Iglus, alpinen Sehnsuchtsorten, Lawinen und Gletschern und dem ?ltesten Ski der Welt. In einer Zeit, in der die Jahreszeiten ihren Rhythmus verlieren und ganze Landschaften zu verschwinden drohen, einer Zeit, in der die F?higkeit unseres Planeten, Sonnenlicht zu reflektieren, immer weiter abnimmt, fordert S?rlin, dass wir uns die Zeit nehmen, wirklich hinzuschauen was wir verlieren in all seiner facettenreichen Wunderbarkeit. Und zu fragen: Was kommt nach dem Schnee? De Gewicht in Gramm: 604.…
