Product Description
A cute giftbook packed with glorious color microphotography of real snow crystals by Dr. Snow—Caltech physicist Kenneth Libbrecht. His photos of snowflakes have appeared in National Geographic, the New York Times, and on Martha Stewart’s TV show, as well as numerous other places. This thick “cube” book is packed with a blizzard’s worth of amazing images as well as literary quotes on the beauty of snow.

Beautiful snow....life at its most fragile and ephemerial... April 2, 2009
Barbara Hamaker (West Hollywood, CA)

Nature's finest performance art abounds in these delicate photos of one-of-a-kind disappearing acts. Each one a treasure for contemplation; some so beautiful as to defy description (page 188 for instance). It is such a relief to NOT be bombarded with glitz and hard-sell so prevalent in everything our eyes come in contact with these days. Thank you to Mr. Libbrecht for his contribution to beauty for the libraries of time. As an additional exploration and compliment to this work, you should try any book by Masaru Emoto on snowflakes ("The Hidden Messages of Water" is fascinating); and check out Libbrecht's field guide to snowflakes as well. To see them momentarily appear on your mitten in winter, and then revisit their splendor captured in print is a gift. You don't need a TV or VCR or an expensive wide-screen--all you need is the book, a chair, some light, and a good cup of coffee--be with yourself for a few minutes and have a conversation with miracles.

Superb collection of snowflake photography done by someone who travels around the world capturing the beauty of this unique subject. Each page has a full page photo.
Awesome Book! June 25, 2010
M. Snow (USA)
Our last name is snow...so I tend to have a thing anything related to our last name. This book is great to have on your coffee table or to use as illustrations for children lessons on how each snowflake is different. If you want more scientific answers for snoflakes and such there are other books out there, but for me...this one will do nicely. It incorporates quotes from various sources which is a nice touch. The photographs are breathtaking and I highly recommend this book.
