Wow! Daniel - pass my tanks on to your wife, I hope she is able to find a vendor for the book. Thanks too to Paul Stenquist for telling me about the discussion of the book here. I started a new day-job 6 months ago and after almost 10 years of freelancing and part-timing I'm still a bit freaked out about getting up and going somewhere every day. Well - 'somewhere' as in not the woods or prairie or savannah... Anyhow, I've not been active on the list for a while... the Story of Snow has been off to a great start - it was a Junoir Library Guild Selctiion a couple of months ago, the New York Public Library included it in their '100 titles for reading and Sharing', the Bulletin of the Center of Children's Books is putting it on the cover of their Decmebr issue and the nation Science Teacher's Association included it in their list of 2010 Outstanding Science Trade Books. Not bad for the first 6 weeks in print! Last night I set up a website / blog for the book which can be cound here - www.storyofsnow.com I pulled in some posts that had been on my perosnal blog and added some new ones. I hope to keep things up to date there! And folks interested in B&W urban landscapes might want to check out the link to Gary Ciadella's book there. Later - MCC

The school district can only purchase from certain vendors approved by the state, but she hopes that one of their book sellers can fill the order. For those who have not seen it, the book is a marvelous combination of photography, art and science, well told in an approachable style.
