I forgot to mention, I received my copy of Mark's book! It's lovely. Plan
to give it to my littlest nephew for Christmas. Congrats on a nice book.,
Mark. Cheers, Christine

Wow! Daniel - pass my tanks on to your wife, I hope she is able to find a
vendor for the book.
Thanks too to Paul Stenquist for telling me about the discussion of the book
here. I started a new day-job 6 months ago and after almost 10 years of
freelancing and part-timing I'm still a bit freaked out about getting up and
going somewhere every day. Well - 'somewhere' as in not the woods or prairie
or savannah... Anyhow, I've not been active on the list for a while...
the Story of Snow has been off to a great start - it was a Junoir Library
Guild Selctiion a couple of months ago, the New York Public Library included
it in their '100 titles for reading and Sharing', the Bulletin of the Center
of Children's Books is putting it on the cover of their Decmebr issue and
the nation Science Teacher's Association included it in their list of 2010
Outstanding Science Trade Books. Not bad for the first 6 weeks in print!
Last night I set up a website / blog for the book which can be cound here -
www.storyofsnow.com I pulled in some posts that had been on my perosnal blog
and added some new ones. I hope to keep things up to date there! And folks
interested in B&W urban landscapes might want to check out the link to Gary
Ciadella's book there.
Later -
MCC

My wife put in a purchase order for 30 copies of Mark Cassino's book
on The Story of Snow for the elementary school's weather unit. The
school district can only purchase from certain vendors approved by the
state, but she hopes that one of their book sellers can fill the
order.
For those who have not seen it, the book is a marvelous combination of
photography, art and science, well told in an approachable style.
