In The Future of Ice, Ehrlich travels to extreme points--from Tierra del Fuego in the south to Spitsbergen, east of Greenland, at the very top of the world--in her quest to understand the complex, primal nature of cold. \u003cbr\u003eOver the course of a year, Ehrlich and her cold-loving canine companion experience firsthand the myriad expressions of cold, and she gives us marvelous histories of wind, water, snow, and ice, of ocean currents and weather cycles. Ehrlich explores how our very awareness, our consciousness, is animated and enlivened by the archaic rhythms and erupting oscillations of weather. As she writes, \"Weather streamed into my nose, mouth, eyes, and ears and circulated inside my brain. . . . A gust can shove one impulse into another; a blizzard erases a line of action; a sandstorm permeates inspiration; rain is a form of sleep. Lightning makes scratch marks on brains; hail gouges out a nesting place, melts, and waters the seed of an idea that can germinate into idiocy, a joke, or genius.\" We share Ehrlich's experience of the thrills of cold and also her questions: What will happen to us if we are \"deseasoned\"? If winter ends, will we survive? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGretel Ehrlich is the author of \u003cb\u003eThis Cold Heaven \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eThe Solace of Open Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e, among other works of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.
