Realm of the Air" by Charles F. Talman, 1931.) Anyone for winter? When the summer's heat gets too much, come to the University Library and cool off with the Lobby Display: “Keep Cool: Ice, Air Conditioning, and Other Cool Concepts”. The Library has books on everything cool from ice cream manufacturing to ice climbing; from polar expeditions to air conditioning systems; from ice carving to icebergs; from true stories of survival to fiction in which ice is just a metaphor. Or bring winter back with a DVD from the Media Center; The March of the Penguins for example. The following is a just a sample of what's available. Selected Bibliography: Mowat, Farley.
