A Cold Spell: A Human History of Ice by Max Leonard
informative
medium-paced
5.0
This is a little gem of a book. Not quite what I was expecting. I think I was thinking more of it in terms of the science but instead got more history and fascinating history at that. The book is scattered with stories of exploration, discovery, health, challenge and more.
Ice……….such an ordinary everyday substance that most of us hardly give a moments thought to. After reading this book you will have a whole new appreciation of its value. With climate change so topical and the disappearance of the planet’s glaciers this book couldn’t have come at a better time.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did an excellent job throughout.
I can only say……….read it.
