By sharing the history and science connected to snow globes, they have enriched the role snow globes play in our lives. Readers will discover what snow globe makers have done to prevent the water in the globe from freezing, how they experimented with different materials to make realistic fake snowflakes, and how they managed to make those snowflakes fall slowly. Additionally, readers will learn about the very first snow globe and the changes in the production of snow globes over the years. Along the way, readers will delight in learning which presidents collected snow globes, when snow globes have popped up in movies and television shows and some of the more surprising uses of snow globes. Salt and pepper shakers, pencil sharpeners, and music boxes are among the many novelty snow globes that have been manufactured.

Along the way he explains the extraordinary hold this commonplace phenomenon has over us, and reveals the ongoing drama of our relationship with it. Combining on-the-slopes experience with off-piste research, Charlie English's journey begins with the magical moment when his two-year-old son sees snow for the first time, before setting off in the footsteps of the Romantic poets over the Alps, following the sled-tracks of the Inuit across Greenland, and meeting up with a flurry of fellow enthusiasts, from snow-making scientists in Japan and global warming experts in California to plough drivers in Alaska.This is a book for anyone who reaches for their mittens at the sight of the first flake.

Snow written by Anthony R. Wood and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-12-08 with Forecasting categories.

Snow, beautiful and magical, is sometimes considered one of nature's blessings. It is also a nuisance needing to be managed and moved, and worse, a sometimes-crippling catastrophe to be battled. Wood looks at snow in all its delightful and fearsome manifestations as he delves into science, history, economics, and popular culture to examine snow's enduring hold on the imagination. He summarizes the current scientific understanding of major winter weather events and what is known about the complex interplay between the jet stream and the Gulf Stream, and considers the impact of global warming on snowfall. -- adapted from jacket
