James C. Halfpenny - Winter: An Ecological Handbook

"A nourishing book for anyone who looks at winter with an inquisitive mind."

Spokane Chronicle

"Beginning with the science of ecology, especially winter ecology, and written in a lively style, Halfpenny and Ozanne discuss and illustrate every aspect of this seasonenergy, strategies for coping, the nivean environment, animals, plants, insects in winter, the perceptions of people in the cold, and lastly experiencing winter, being out in it for sport, camping, research. Their book, highly recommended for every library (even those in southern climates), is a splendid informative look at life and living in environments where winter means cold, often forbidding weather."

Academic Library Book Review

"One excellent source for understanding how animals (including man) survive frigid conditions is Winter: An Ecological Handbook."

Gary Gerhardt, Rocky Mountain News

"The book is full of useful information about the physical phenomena of winter, the adaptations of organisms to winter, and how to deal with winter's dangers as well as its joys. [The authors] have successfully synthesized an introductory compilation of information from a variety of sources. Where possible, they have skillfully woven interesting real-life examplessuch as why a nose is red in the coldinto the text to accompany theory."
