Discusses the formation, movement, and different types of glaciers and icebergs and describes their effect on the world around them.

This book uses math and science to help students learn about glaciers. Math challenge questions provide students with the opportunity to apply math skills as they learn about the characteristics of glaciers.

In Ice, Klaus Dodds provides a wide-ranging exploration of the cultural, natural, and geopolitical history of this most slippery of subjects. Beyond Earth, ice has been found on other planets, moons, and meteors-and scientists even think that ice-rich asteroids played a pivotal role in bringing water to our blue home. But our outlook need not be cosmic to see ice's importance. Here today and gone tomorrow in many parts of the temperate world, ice...

"Next stop...The Magic School Bus heads to Antarctica to learn about glaciers! D.A. is more of a researcher than a storyteller, so she's naturally nervous when her parents sign her up to speak in front of a sellout crowd. But thanks to the Friz, D.A. gains inspiration from the greatest storytellers on Earth: glaciers! These mighty, frozen time machines guide the class through the Earth's last 10,000 years, and the incredible tale of the changes...

More than half a billion years ago, our world was completely covered by glaciers, a "Snowball Earth" that persisted for millions of years. Incredibly, this unimaginable cold led to the remarkable diversification of life on earth known as the Cambian explosion. With a geologist's eye and a knack for storytelling, Graham Shields explores when and how such inhospitable conditions enabled animals to evolve, radiate, and diversify into our earliest ancestors....

Learn how glaciers grow, shrink, and move, shaping the world around them.

"Simple text and full-color photography introduce beginning readers to glaciers. Developed by literacy experts for students in kindergarten through third grade"--

Explains why the arctic and antarctic are especially sensitive to global warming, how the shrinking of glaciers and ice caps and the melting of permafrost involve positive feedback loops that accelerate the process, and the extent to which the melting effects sea level.

"A girl grows up visiting Snæfellsjökull, the glacier near her home, but when preteen life throws her off-center she must reconnect with her icy old friend" --

"A glacier may look forbidding and empty, but it provides a rich habitat for animals from the mountains to the sea. As the world's glaciers melt, their disappearance impacts not only the wildlife that calls them home, but also all life on earth. Back matter includes a glossary and an author's note about climate change"--
