A farewell to ice - P. Wadhams

'Astonishing ... beautiful, compelling and terrifying' Observer

'Wadhams' writing sparkles ... a lyrical sense of
wonder at the natural world ... essential reading ... may be the best
reader-friendly account of the greenhouse effect available to date' John
Burnside, New Statesman

Ice is beautiful and complex. It regulates our planet's temperature. And
it is vanishing - fast. Peter Wadhams, the world's leading expert on
sea ice, draws on his lifetime's research in the Arctic region to
illuminate what is happening, what it means for the future, and what can
be done.

'This most experienced and
rational scientist states what so many other researchers privately fear
but cannot publicly say' John Vidal, Guardian

'Wadhams brings huge expertise to his subject - and he is an excellent writer' Martin Rees

'Utterly extraordinary' Jonathon Porritt
