"Mr. Brunner's winning book is a reassuring, nostalgic reminder
that winter is the season of both play and regeneration."-Wall
Street Journal In Winterlust, a farmer painstakingly photographs
five thousand snowflakes, each one dramatically different from the
next. Indigenous peoples thrive on frozen terrain, where famous
explorers perish. Icicles reach deep underwater, then explode.
Rooms warmed by crackling fires fill with scents of cinnamon,
cloves, and pine. Skis carve into powdery slopes, and iceboats
traverse glacial lakes. This lovingly illustrated meditation on
winter entwines the spectacular with the everyday, expertly
capturing the essence of a beloved yet dangerous season, which is
all the more precious in an era of climate change "Brunner
masterfully does in words what resilient and adventurous people
have done in their lives for centuries; he finds beauty in
blizzards and ice and the crystallized enchantment of snow." -Dan
Egan, Pulitzer finalist and author of The Death and Life of the
Great Lakes
