A review by justjacq
The Hidden Life of Ice - Dispatches from a Disappearing World by Alberto Flores D'Arcais, Marco Tedesco

adventurous informative inspiring fast-paced

3.75

For a little book, this packs a lot of punch. Less than 200 pages, and I learned so many little tidbits I never knew (like about Tardigrades and the "Polar Camel"). Besides the science and climate facts, Marco Tedesco also shared personal reflections that, in a sense, made the book for me. I think of times I have been in nature, when I've been in awe of nature, and how it's made me feel - how it has made me reflect on the past and the future. I may not ever get to spend time on the Greenland ice shelf, but I still relate to the feelings Tedesco shared from his time there. I was disappointed to read a number of reviews that felt this book was insignificant, and your opinion of it would be based on your opinion on climate change - how on earth are people still denying climate change? I found it to be a quick and meaningful read.
