Summary:
"This book provides an illustrated guide to the wide variety of features found on and around the world's glaciers and ice sheets as well as the products of glacial erosion and deposition. It stresses both the beauty and utility of glaciers and demonstrates how our lives are influenced by one of the key components of the Earth system, the cryosphere. The authors cover glaciers and their landforms and explain some of the key concepts in glaciology and glacial geology."--Amazon.com.
