And part of what I was getting at earlier when I started thinking about writing Cold and started focusing on it as a topic, one of the things that happens is that you start seeing aspects of cold wherever you go. So even, for example, when Im in London on business, I started seeing things, or reading things, or hearing about things that were related to cold, like the airconditioning in Westminster Abbey that Cornelis Drebbel undertook back in the 1600s. And the list goes on and on, even in the Philippines. I was in the Philippines replica Bell & RossVintage 126 V126BEI-SB Men doing some diving and came across a fish thats really closely related to a coldwater California fish. When did these two fish diverge? Without sounding too much like a scientist, when did they genetically split apart, which lets one of them thrive in much colder water, while this one would obviously be killed if the temperature dropped even a few degrees? Youre hopping from month to month in the book.

Was that the idea?No, no. The main basis for the month to month was to remind people that, somewhere, its brutally cold every day. You have no problem at all finding somewhere cold to go in July. Thats why I start the book in July with a replica Bell & RossVintage 126 V126BLK-SL Men plunge into the Beaufort Sea. And also to remind people that the Beaufort Sea, the Alaskan Arctic, the sea ice is just leaving in the second half of July. The ice is just pulling back from the shore. So even with global warming and the loss of the sea ice that were all reading about, the Beaufort Sea is very much frozen in the winter, and its still very much frozen during what people in your part of the world would consider to be summer.
