"Marshall presents a comprehensive, accessible, and authoritative treatment of the cryosphere, and makes excellent use of field and model examples to illustrate key points. New metaphors and descriptions are offered for familiar topics that bring with them new insight and utility. I enjoyed reading this book."--Robert Bindschadler, emeritus scientist, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center This is one of the best, most up-to-date books about the state of the cryosphere and an excellent read."--Eric Rignot, University of California, Irvine
