The Avalanche Handbook

by David Mcclung

The Avalanche Handbook Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

New edition under new (Canadian) editorship--since the US has phased out research on the phenomenon. A more international flavor is apparent here and major enlargement of such subjects as snow metamorphism, its shear strength, release mechanisms, motion, effects, prediction. The definitive English-language work.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Classic and comprehensive reference on avalanches, their formation, and their effects.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 264-265) and index.
