Praise for Water, Ice & Stone

"Nature writing of a very high order…a joyride for those who enjoy deep explorations of logic, human frailty and the laws of nature." — San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

"Brilliant…resembles at various times the work of Stephan Jay Gould, Loren Eiseley and Barry Lopez, but also Primo Levi's 'The Periodic Table' and the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins and the writer of Ecclesiastes. It's the kind of book that makes the reviewer want to quote whole paragraphs." — Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Among his many accomplishments, [Green] offhandedly makes the vocabulary of science accessible to the lay reader. He is at ease in the kingdom of poetry—just as much as he is (warily) at ease in the frozen and eerily beautiful Antarctic landscape." — Boston Sunday Globe

"A beautiful little book; it will go on the shelf with the other books I read for the love of their words." — The Houston Chronicle

"Finely honed flashes of pure scientific writing." — Kirkus Reviews
