Summary

"Frost Flowers" unveils the captivating world of these delicate, crystalline structures in cold regions, exploring their formation, significance, and role in environmental science. These ephemeral formations, resembling intricate floral arrangements, are not merely aesthetic curiosities; they are vital indicators of environmental conditions. The book examines the micro-meteorological processes, such as temperature gradients and humidity levels, necessary for their creation. A key insight is their involvement in atmospheric chemistry and biogeochemical cycling, transporting compounds in polar environments. Frost flowers incorporate sea salts and organic matter, influencing atmospheric processes and supporting microbial communities. Understanding the thermodynamics and surface chemistry behind ice crystal growth reveals how water vapor transforms into these elaborate structures. The book progresses from introducing the basic principles of frost flower formation to discussing their chemical composition and ecological role. It culminates in examining the implications for climate modeling and environmental monitoring, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the Earth's cold regions and climate change.

    Isabella Lucy Bird was a 19th century English traveller, writer, and natural historian. She was a sickly child, however, while she was travelling she was almost always healthy. Her first trip, in 1854, took her to America, visiting relatives. Her first book, The Englishwoman in America was published anonymously two years later.Unbeaten Tracks in Japan is compiled of the letters she sent to her sister during her 7 months sojourn in Japan in 1878. Her travels there took her from Edo (now called Tokyo) through the interior - where she was often the first foreigner the locals had met - to Niigata, and from there to Aomori. There she crossed over to Yezo (Hokkaido), and her account on the life of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, provides an interesting glimpse of days long past. (Summary by Availle)
