Book Reviews of The Avalanche Handbook
Book Review: Complete...*very* complete
Summary: 5 Stars
This handbook is a comprehensive compilation of the state of current science regarding the snow avalanche phenomenon. Required reading for most level 2 avalanche courses, and highly recommended for casual backcountry users, this book really excels in the figures and diagrams included. Be warned, however, that the material is rather dense - not really a sunday read...
