Summary

This sweeping, sparkling survey of all things winter captures the essence of a season beloved and feared in equal measure. Acclaimed writer Bernd Brunner draws on literature and art, science and history, modern pastimes and time-honored traditions to explore how humans have long survived and celebrated the coldest time of year. He also shares bone-chilling tales--from ill-fated Arctic expeditions to devastating avalanches--alongside cozy scenes of crackling fires to reveal a season of both hardship and pleasure
