520    "While Glaciers Slept weaves together the parallel stories
       of what happens when the climates of family and planet 
       change. Jackson, a National Geographic Expert, reveals how
       these events are deeply similar and intertwined. She tells
       the story of her parents' struggles with cancer while 
       describing in detail the planetary changes she's 
       witnessed. Above all else, Jackson shows that even in the 
       darkest of times there is clear reason for hope and light.
       Readers are drawn into a world where complex climatic 
       themes and glacial processes are broken down for a general
       audience. Jackson dances us over solar, wind, and 
       geothermal mysteries, bringing us along on expeditions. 
       Climate change, she convinces us, is not just about 
       science--it is also about the audacity of human courage 
       and imagination. While Glaciers Slept shows us that the 
       story of one family can be the story of one planet, and 
       that climate change has a human face" --|cprovided by
