The International Geophysical Year (1957–58) had just mobilized scientists from 67 nations to study the polar regions, and ice — its structure, mechanics, and thermodynamics — had become a subject of urgent strategic and scientific importance. Pounder, a leading glaciologist at McGill University, produced the definitive English-language treatment of ice physics at exactly this moment: a rigorous, data-rich monograph that synthesized decades of crystallographic, thermal, and mechanical research into a single authoritative volume. It remains a foundational reference in glaciology and polar science, and a first edition is a genuine rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTopics Covered\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrystal structure and lattice properties of ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical properties: elasticity, creep, and fracture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal and electrical properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea ice formation, structure, and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical properties and light scattering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaciological applications and field observations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential acquisition for collectors of polar science literature, glaciologists, and anyone captivated by the physics of the natural world at its most extreme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stemcell Science Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49787493417245,"sku":"PH-4544","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/0158\/2449\/files\/IMG_7328.jpg?v=1786647685","url":"https:\/\/stemcell.eco\/products\/physics-of-ice-by-elton-r-pounder","provider":"Stemcell Science Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
