       Kyrosfæren og livet."

520    ""The Kingdom of Frost," or what scientists call the 
       cryosphere, refers to all of Earth's frozen waters. 
       Glaciers, ice caps, and fields of Arctic snow--the 
       cryosphere is vital to our survival. It supplies us with 
       water and helps cool cities from Bangladesh to Bangkok, 
       Los Angeles to Oslo. In this captivating, eye-opening 
       account, esteemed Norwegian writer Bjørn Vassnes 
       interweaves brilliant climate reporting with the 
       fascinating story of Earth's frozen world. He draws on 
       cultural history and anthropology to tell us how the 
       cryosphere once helped to spark life on Earth--and how it 
       continues to sustain us despite its shrinking size. And he
       answers pressing questions such as: What will happen if it
       all disappears?"--Amazon.
