BOOK REVIEWEDIce: The Nature, the History and the Uses of an Astonishing Substance

by Mariana Gosnell

Alfred A. Knopf: 2005. 576 pp. $30

In its various forms, solid H2O covers large parts of Earth's surface for all or much of the year, with implications for our climate. The reflectivity of snow and sea ice greatly influences the planet's heat budget, with any reduction in coverage providing a positive-feedback mechanism for global warming.
