Reviews

Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this text describes the unique properties of ice and the ways in which these properties are interpreted in terms of water molecules and crystalline structure. In each chapter, the subject is introduced from first principles and the reader is directed to selected important papers on the topic. The volume is illustrated throughout with b&w graphs, diagrams, and photographs. Petrenko teaches engineering at Dartmouth College, and Whitworth recently retired from teaching crystal physics at the U. of Birmingham, UK. --SciTech Book News<br>

'...concise but complete reference book on the topic, suitable for all those whose reserach impinges on any aspect of ice physics. Clear explanations, aided by useful diagrams and tables of data, cover the main topics, with sufficient references to more esoteric areas...A new text book the Physics of Ice has been long overdue...The careful scholarship and cpmplementary expertise of the two authors have combined to produce a useful addition to every library and many personal collections. This book provides much for the ice specialist. the newcomer to the field and thoseseeking any information about this amazing material' British Crystallographic Association News
