Thin Ice - Premium Ice Melt Pellets for Driveways & Sidewalks | Fast-Acting, Pet-Safe Deicer for Winter Storms & Snow Removal

Actually, I think this topic could be classified as source material for a modern opera, in the vein of "Nixon in China" or "oppenheimer". I was so entralled!. This is a story that needs to get out and Opera will do that. I was a bit taken back when the author said that carbon dioxide was frozen in permafrost, but his web site clarified the error.AMAZING coverage of a WIDE range of material. The more I read the more I was impressed with the depth of knowledge and coverage of the material. I cannot comment on the archeology of Peru or Bolivia, but his report on the Inca, and other areas of the Earth was accurate (the Anasazi in NA). I am absolutely ASTOUNDED that a Physicist could compile such an exellent story. It was interesting to me because I have done a lot of hiking and glacial science. BEST report I've ever read. I could not put it down and I requested his other books, but really, as a climber I can't believe any book could be better. He's captured the science (95%) and the climbing experience (150%). Wish I could climb some more, but many of the glaciers are gone and my bones are getting old. I hope that the future generations will be able to experience glacial/permanent ice field climbs. Wonderful book. I'd love to meet the author and talk to him. I surely hope this goes on to make a movie or an Opera. I wish I had read this when it came out a few years ago. Exciting!
