An award-winning science journalist explains what Earth's frozen
waters tell us about the past, present, and future of humanity.
"The Kingdom of Frost," or what scientists call the cryosphere,
refers to all of Earth's frozen waters. Glaciers, ice caps, and
fields of Arctic snow-the cryosphere is vital to our survival. It
supplies us with water and helps cool cities from Bangladesh to
Bangkok, Los Angeles to Oslo. In this captivating, eye-opening
account, esteemed Norwegian writer Bjorn Vassnes interweaves
brilliant climate reporting with the fascinating story of Earth's
frozen world. He draws on cultural history and anthropology to tell
us how the cryosphere once helped to spark life on Earth-and how it
continues to sustain us despite its shrinking size. And he answers
pressing questions such as: What will happen if it all disappears?
