Prof. Wadhams introduces us to ice (specifically arctic ice) - "the magic crystal" as he calls it - and gives us an overview of important natural and meterological phenomena it influences, summarizing the last 10 years of climate change research. The book ends with a somewhat concerning review of the state of the planet at the time of writing and the challenges (or dangers) lying ahead.
