Utah has long claimed to have the greatest snow on Earth—the state itself has even trademarked the phrase. In Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth, Jim Steenburgh investigates Wasatch weather, exposing the myths, explaining the reality, and revealing how and why Utah’s powder lives up to its reputation. Steenburgh also examines ski and snowboard regions beyond Utah, providing a meteorological guide to mountain weather and snow climates around the world. Chapters explore mountain weather, avalanches and snow safety, historical accounts of weather events and snow conditions, and the basics of climate and weather forecasting. In this second edition, Steenburgh explains what creates the best snow for skiing and snowboarding using accurate and accessible language and 150 color photographs and illustrations, making Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth a helpful tool for planning vacations and staying safe during mountain adventures. This edition is updated with two new chapters covering microclimates and climate change in greater depth. Steenburgh addresses the declining snowpack and the future of snow across the western United States, as well as the declining snow and ice in several regions of the world—the European Alps in particular. Snowriders, weather enthusiasts, meteorologists, students of snow science, and anyone who dreams of deep powder and bluebird skies will want to get their gloves on this new edition of Secrets of the Greatest Snow on Earth. Praise for the first edition: “Everything you always wanted to know about how snow forms and how to follow forecasts so you see how much an”d where is in the book. It’s a must-have for any fan of snow, sure to get you excited about winter, and give you a bevy of conversation topics for the chairlift ride.” —Utah Adventure Journal “For backcountry enthusiasts that find themselves infatuated with weather patterns, snow-water equivalents, microclimates, and Utah, this book is a dream come true.” —The Backcountry Skiing Blog “Steenburgh shares a career’s worth of knowledge in this book. His love of both snow science and skiing is obvious, and he adds humor and personality to the scientific discussion.” —First Tracks!! Online Skiing Magazine “When it comes to snow, the details—both small- and large-scale—do matter. If we all observed our surroundings with as much curiosity and enthusiasm as Steenburgh, the world could be a much better- tended place.” —American Scientist

People love snow. They love to ski and sled on it, snowshoe through it, and watch it fall from the sky. They love the way it blankets a landscape, making it look tranquil and beautiful. Few people, however, know how snow works. What makes it possible for us to slip and slide over, whether that’s falling on sidewalks or skiing down a mountain? What makes it cling to branches and street signs? What qualities of snow lead to avalanches? In A Field Guide to Snow, veteran snow scientist Matthew Sturm answers those questions and more. Drawing on decades of study, he explains in clear and simple ways how and why snow works the way it does. The perfect companion a ski trip or a hike in the snowy woods, A Field Guide to Snow will give you a new appreciation for the science behind snow’s beauty.

A compilation of three preludes set in the worlds of Mythic Expeditions Press: Into the Grey Sent to the far north in service to Queen and country, Lieutenant John Doliver of the Caledon Royal Corps writes back to his lady love-his only connection to a world his duty has required him to leave behind. What will he and his companions find in the cold and desolate reaches of the frigid wasteland known as the Grey? Masques of the Living and the Dead Leave it to Malachaias to find himself locked away in the depths of Valkovia's infamous Stonegate Prison-for the second time. He'll find his way out again, he is certain-for himself and his companion Jihan. But at what cost? A Winter's Good Night Accepting the odd, last-minute invitation of the enigmatic Lord and Lady Iverness, Miss Alexa Bright finds herself in the midst of a most unusual Turning of the Year celebration. Who are her hosts, really? And why invite her, the last daughter of a minor house, about to marry and start the life she was born for? What's a Prelude? In music, a prelude is a movement preceding and introducing a longer work, such as an opera. Our preludes serve much the same function. They're shorter pieces that introduce a longer saga or series, and give you a taste of one of the MXP worlds, characters, and stories. What's MYTHIC EXPEDITIONS? Mythic Expeditions Press (MXP) (www.mythicexpeditions.com) is Steve Arensberg's fantasy fiction home. It's a gathering point, a nexus, for entertaining and inspiring fantastical fiction. Mythic Expeditions are epic journeys across the many worlds, companioned by peoples you'll love (and love to hate), for causes both deeply personal and world-changing. Come join us!

A Wildlife Management Institute Book In this lavishly illustrated volume Richard E. McCabe, Bart W. O'Gara and Henry M. Reeves explore the fascinating relationship of pronghorn with people in early America, from prehistoric evidence through the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The only one of fourteen pronghorn-like genera to survive the great extinction brought on by human migration into North America, the pronghorn has a long and unique history of interaction with humans on the continent, a history that until now has largely remained unwritten. With nearly 150 black-and-white photographs, 16 pages of color illustrations, plus original artwork by Daniel P. Metz, Prairie Ghost: Pronghorn and Human Interaction in Early America tells the intriguing story of humans and these elusive big game mammals in an informative and entertaining fashion that will appeal to historians, biologists, sportsmen and the general reader alike. Winner of the Wildlife Society's Outstanding Book Award for 2005
