What are the consequences of the planet's waning capacity to cool? In other words, what comes after ice? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This collection examines the implications of the end of consistent freezing and thawing cycles. \u003ci\u003eAfter Ice \u003c\/i\u003egathers experts in a wide range of disciplines to articulate aspects of the cold humanities. They investigate ice and its dynamic properties as a foundational element of Indigenous communities in the Arctic regions, as a commodity with technological and political value, and as a reflection of environmental change and the passage of time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the future of the cryosphere is increasingly determined by human behavior, this thought-provoking exploration envisions ice as both a phase of water and as a milieu for sensemaking. It asks us to consider how to define, describe, and materially characterize our warming world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafico Ruiz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774869364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774869362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rafico Ruiz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334645240063,"sku":"9780774869362","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33c68e26-0ac8-41df-a037-ee9952333e61.jpg?v=1731467392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-ice-rafico-ruiz-9780774869362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
