Field Guide to Snow Crystals - 1973

"Anyone who has ever scooped up a handful of snow and looked closely at the individual crystals of which it is composed will want to own this book, the first field guide designed to explain to snow rangers, serious students, skiers, mountaineers, and nature lovers what can actually be seen with the naked eye or a small hand lens. The book begins with a clear description of the types of snow crystals, how they are formed, and how they change after they have been deposited, and explains the various systems of classification that have been developed. A section on snow crystal observation and photography deals with the techniques and equipment for use both in the field and in the cold laboratory..." Field Guide to Snow Crystals - Edward R.
