Ice exists in water, in air, in earth and in living organisms. The purpose of this book is to describe in mathematical, physical and biological terms, the growth and decay of ice, on a scale ranging from molecular to macroscopic. Consideration of the growth of ice in each of the above contexts provides a clearer understanding of the processes involved and results in a comprehensive overview not available elsewhere. This book will be of particular use to any graduate student, scientist or engineer requiring an introduction and reference for ice-related projects: theoretical or experimental; in the laboratory or the field.
Industry Reviews
..."anyone who is interested in the way a solid interacts with its melt, in theory and in practice, should read the appropriate chapters of this book, and the section on periglacial processes is a well-written and up-to-date review. Moreover, the writing and presentation are mostly to a good standard, so anyone needing an introduction to a particular aspect of ice thermodynamics would do well to start with this book." Richard C. A. Hindmarsh, Geological Magazine
