The Future of Ice: A Journey into Cold
New York Pantheon Books 2004 037542251X / 9780375422515 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible SIGNED
200 pp., bib. notes; 20 cm. SIGNED. Boldly signed by author on title page, no dedication, otherwise as new. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Over the course of a year, Ehrlich and her cold-loving canine companion experience firsthand the myriad expressions of cold, and she gives us marvelous histories of wind, water, snow, and ice, of ocean currents and weather cycles. Ehrlich explores how our very awareness, our consciousness, is animated and enlivened by the archaic rhythms and erupting oscillations of weather. As she writes, 'Weather streamed into my nose, mouth, eyes, and ears and circulated inside my brain....A gust can shove one impulse into another; a blizzard erases a line of action; a sandstorm permeates inspiration; rain is a form of sleep. Lightning makes scratch marks on brains; hail gouges out a nesting place, melts, and waters the seed of an idea that can germinate into idiocy, a joke, or genius.' We share Ehrlich's experience of the thrills of cold and also her questions: What will happen to us if we are 'deseasoned'? If winter ends, will we survive? / Gretel Ehrlich is the author of This Cold Heaven (available in paperback from Vintage Books) and The Solace of Open Spaces, among other works of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. She divides her time between California and Wyoming." - Publisher.

The Future of Ice: A Journey into Cold
New York Vintage Books; Random House 2005 1400034353 / 9781400034352 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
200 pp., bib. notes; 20 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light shelfwear to wraps. Stated "First Vintage Books Edition: November 2005." "This book was written out of Gretel Ehrlich's love for winter--for remote and cold places, for the ways winter frees our imagination and invigorates our feet, mind, and soul--and also out of the fear that our 'democracy of gratification' has irreparably altered the climate. Over the course of a year, Ehrlich experiences firsthand the myriad expressions of cold, giving us marvelous histories of wind, water, snow, and ice, of ocean currents and weather cycles. From Tierra del Fuego in the south to Spitsbergen, east of Greenland, at the very top of the world, she explores how our very consciousness is animated and enlivened by the archaic rhythms and erupting oscillations of weather. We share Ehrlich's experience of the thrills of cold, but also her questions: What will happen to us if we are 'deseasoned'? If winter ends, will we survive? / Gretel Ehrlich is the author of This Cold Heaven and The Solace of Open Spaces, among other works of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry. She divides her time between California and Wyoming." - Publisher.

This Cold Heaven: Seven Seasons in Greenland
New York Pantheon Books 2001 0679442006 / 9780679442004 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xv, 377 pp., illus., maps, biblio., index; 25 cm. Map on lining papers. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "For the last decade, Gretel Ehrlich has been obsessed by an island, a terrain, a culture, and the men and women who long for and love the complex frailties and treacherous beauty of a world defined by ice. Greenland, the world’s largest island, 840,000 square miles in extent, is covered by the largest continental ice sheet in the world. Only the rocky fringe of its coast is habitable. There, the Inuit, the Arctic's first explorers, have survived and thrived in the harshest of climates. For the Inuit, an ice-age, ice-adapted people who first traveled from Siberia across the polar North six thousand years ago, weather is consciousness. In a world composed of ice and darkness, water and light, where skins of dog, seal, bear, even hare and eider duck, are sewn into clothes, tents, and sleeping bags as protection, where transport is by dogsled and kayak, the only rein for the uncontrollable force of weather is an unbending self-discipline. The blend of physical endurance and psychological perseverance required for daily existence first drew Ehrlich to this terrain. Her guide, her inspiration, her companion in spirit was the great Danish-Inuit explorer and ethnographer Knud Rasmussen. Between 1902 and his death in 1933 he launched seven expeditions: to record the unknown history and customs of the nomadic Eskimos; to chronicle the skills, beliefs,and crafts that made life in this climate possible and a matter of grace. For Rasmussen, 'all true wisdom is only to be found far from the dwellings of man, in great solitudes.' As she followed his trail, Ehrlich was to find the things that can open the mind to what is hidden from others. This Cold Heaven is at once a distillation of her many journeys, a path into a world divided into darkness and light and, finally, an attempt to capture the clarity that blinds us with surprise. / Gretel Ehrlich is the author of A Match to the Heart, among other works of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. She divides her time between California and Wyoming." - Publisher.
