| Abstract: | Contains many remarkable photographs of snow-flakes, complemented by readable and scientific text. Provides brief history of "snowflake watching", including celebrated photographer Wilson Bentley. Describes snow-crystal morphology and classification system. Discusses snowflake morphogenesis, branching and faceting, alternatives to familiar hexagonal structure, such as columns, needles and polycrystals.
