Winterlust: Finding Beauty in the Fiercest Season by Bernd Brunner

3.0

Winter is not my favourite, so I really appreciated this book looking at the beauty we can find in this season. It spoke of snow and ice and how they affect and interplay with our lives - how we adapt to cold all over the world and through history, how it affects our houses and our clothing, our fun and leisure, our holidays and celebrations, how animals behave in winter, and more. I particularly enjoyed the chapters that spoke about the science of snow - how it's made, and how different conditions affect the snow, and how different kinds of snow can sound when we crunch through it.
Overall, a good cozy read about the appreciation of a difficult season.
