Riddle of the Ice: A Scientific Adventure Into the Arctic [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

"This crucial book describes a voyage in every sense of the word--a wonderfully told account of a passage to some of the world's loneliest waters, as well as a remarkably lucid tale of a journey into the most vital science now in progress anywhere on earth."--Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

"Offers not only a provocative introduction to the emerging field of 'earth systems science, ' but also a gripping sea yarn tinged with disquieting scenarios of cataclysmic climate change."--Outside

"Wonderfully rich...[Arms'] science reporting is sound, his eye for meaningful detail sharp."--Kirkus Reviews

In a sailing and science adventure that became a Boston Globe best-seller, the author recounts his struggle to explain the barrier of ice that prevented him from reaching the Arctic Circle during a particularly hot summer. Reprint.
