Life in the cold: an introduction to winter ecology: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Life in the cold: an introduction to winter ecology" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Peter Marchand believes that winter is unfairly misunderstood, a season associated with stillness, darkness, and death. Yet as each spring affirms, living things somehow manage to reappear. Since 1987, when the first edition appeared and was chosen by Library Journal as one of the years 101 Best Sci-Tech Books, Marchand has been treating thousands of readers to a winter world that is very much alive. Now in this enlarged third edition, he offers a brand new chapter adding complete information on three major animal groups: northern cervids (deer, elk, moose, and caribou); semiaquatic mammals (beaver, otter, mink, and muskrat); and gallinaceous birds (grouse and ptarmigan). Experts and novices alike will find Life in the Cold indispensable and enjoyable.

TO THE LATE GARRETT CLOUGH
who pioneered this lifelong
pursuit with me,
never dreaming it would
come this far
TO GREG AND DANIELLE
who have, no doubt, gone without
for their father's obsession with science,
never quite understanding what it is
that I do for a living.
AND TO MY STUDENTS
of winter ecology past and future,
who always ask the right questions
and whose enthusiasm keeps me going
on the really cold days.

Take winter as you find himand he turns
Out to be a thoroughly honest fellow with
No nonsense in him
And tolerating none in you
Which is a great comfort in the long run
