Ice is one of the most abundant and important materials on Earth, and its unique physical properties are an active area of research in a number of disciplines. This book focuses on the physics of ice, its material properties, and how these are reflected in its molecular and crystalline structure.Reviews
"Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this text describes the unique properties of ice and the ways in which these properties are interpreted in terms of water molecules and crystalline structure. In each chapter, the subject is introduced from first principles and the reader is directed to selected important papers on the topic. The volume is illustrated throughout with b&w graphs, diagrams, and photographs. Petrenko teaches engineering at Dartmouth College, and Whitworth recently retired from teaching crystal physics at the U. of Birmingham, UK."--SciTech Book News
