Reviews

""In this work, part of the Princeton Primers in Climate series, glaciologist Marshall examines the nature of ice and snow (the cryosphere) in all its various forms... This book is accessible to interested readers with a background in physics; it could also serve as a textbook in a senior undergraduate or graduate-level course.""--Choice ""[E]vidence of the author's expertise shines through... The book ends with a succinct and thoughtful summary of cryospheric changes in recent history.""--R.J. Galley, Arctic ""I recommend this book for anyone seeking a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the physical processes governing the primary components of the global cryosphere. This text offers more than enough information for a new student in the field, and provides a great jumping-off point for those seeking higher understanding of a particular area of cryospheric science.""--Gina R. Henderson, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
