The Snowflake Man: A Biography of Wilson A. Bentley

Rating:
Summary: Warmest possible treatment of a delightfully chilly subject
Review: Author Blanchard brings humor, life, and compelling energy to an eccentric and an era previously hidden under a thick layer of (snow)dust. Bentley, generally considered an eccentric -- when considered at all -- was actually a dedicated scientist with an artist's eye and heart. What could have been dull scientific treatise actually reads with the smooth pull of a good novel.
