The best compact history of the science of global warming I have read.--Bill McKibben, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe world's premier climatologist, Lonnie Thompson has been risking his career and life on the highest and most remote ice caps along the equator, in search of clues to the history of climate change. His most innovative work has taken place on these mountain glaciers, where he collects ice cores that provide detailed information about climate history, reaching back 750,000 years. To gather significant data Thompson has spent more time in the death zone--the environment above eighteen thousand feet--than any man who has ever lived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eScientist and expert climber Mark Bowen joined Thompson's crew on several expeditions; his exciting and brilliantly detailed narrative takes the reader deep inside retreating glaciers from China, across South America, and to Africa to unravel the mysteries of climate. Most important, we learn what Thompson's hard-won data reveals about global warming, the past, and the earth's probable future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Bowen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805081356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805081350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e107092 \/ Thin Ice: Unlocking the Secrets of Climate in the World's Highest Mountains\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mark Bowen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947226792191,"sku":"9780805081350","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4fc6292b-e6c1-4a71-a524-8f0580217e33.jpg?v=1681517475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thin-ice-mark-bowen-9780805081350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
