Christopher Nicholson celebrates these great, icy relics through a personal meditation on their significance. A book full of vivid descriptions and anecdotes, Among the Summer Snow explores the meanings of nature, beauty and mortality in the twenty-first century.'Beautiful writing that transcends form to arrive somewhere improbable and compelling' Paul Evans, Guardian
