1.The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our FutureThe Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future
from Princeton University Press
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
The author, a scientist, actually did of OK job of keeping me interested in the book. The thing is... the discussion wasn't technical enough to warrant considering on that level. And perhaps it's just me, but it the author didn't provide any strong opinions or speculation of what may have happened... more info

from Villard
Price: $19.75

Customer Review:
A beautiful book combining stunning photography with an in-depth historical, literary, and cultural examination of Iceland. This book manages to be heavy on both text and photographs.
Recommended for those interested in Iceland, but it is not a travel guide-type book.

Rowley's fresh and colloquial style of narrative makes you feel at home in the arctic. While you read you can feel the cold wind in your face, you hear the dogs breathing and the ice cracking and you smell the fresh winter air. You start longing for the moment when you can meet all those friendly... more info

9.The Rough Guide to IcelandThe Rough Guide to Iceland
from Rough Guides

Customer Review:
I recently used this book on a trip to Iceland and was very disappointed in what I felt to be a dismissive tone towards some of the locations listed in the book. By mid-journey, aside from referring to the guide for history or background info, I found I was in complete disagreement with reviews and... more info

from The Lyons Press

Customer Review:
The story itself is interesting and exciting, and I enjoyed the accompanying insights into life and travel in the arctic. The author narrates well, but almost manages to spoil it with an intolerably smug, condescending attitude towards the "eskimos", which he probably mistakes for a kind of colonial... more info
