About This Book

The book presents short, accessible studies of dew, frost, snow, ice, and rain, describing how each form of water appears and changes in nature. It explains the physical conditions and processes behind dew formation, hoar-frost and window-frost patterns, and the growth and variety of snow and ice crystals. Microphotographs and descriptive captions illustrate detailed crystal structures and surface deposits, while later sections examine common ice formations along streams and the different types and behaviors of rain and storms, noting both practical and aesthetic effects of these water phenomena.
