From avalanches to glaciers, from seals to snowflakes, and from Shackleton's expedition to The Year Without Summer, Bill Streever journeys through history, myth, geography, and ecology in a year-long search for cold -- real, icy, 40-below cold. In July he finds it while taking a dip in a 35-degree Arctic swimming hole; in September while excavating our planet's ancient and not so ancient ice ages; and in October while exploring hibernation habits in animals, from humans to wood frogs to bears. A scientist whose passion for cold runs red hot, Streever is a wondrous guide: he conjures woolly mammoth carcasses and the ice-age Clovis tribe from melting glaciers, and he evokes blizzards so wild readers may freeze -- limb by vicarious limb.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for playtime and exercise
Color: White
I’ve been using this automatic dog ball launcher since the day I received it, and it has honestly been amazing for both me and my dog. My pup took to it surprisingly fast, and now he plays with it every day without getting bored. I love the adjustable distance settings because I can use it indoors or outdoors depending on the weather.
The toy is a very good size and quite practical. In the days I’ve been using it, the product's quality has really stood out, as it has proven to be highly effective. I believe it offers excellent value for the quality, and I recommend it if you are looking to keep your pet entertained.

Do Not Use The Balls That Come With It!
Color: White
This ball machine shows 6 meters or 19 feet. Unlike other ball launchers this is too powerful for indoor use. But I found that if you use different balls through experimentation then there are some that do not go as far.
