520    "Concern about the climate crisis is widespread as humans 
       struggle to navigate life in uncertain times. From the 
       vantage of a schooner full of artists on an adventure in 
       the high Arctic, biologist Lynne Quarmby explains the 
       science that convinced her of an urgent need to act on 
       climate change and recounts how this knowledge--and the 
       fear and panic it elicited--plunged her into unsustainable
       action, ending in arrests, lawsuits, and a failed 
       electoral campaign on behalf of the Green Party of Canada.
       Watermelon Snow weaves memoir, microbiology, and artistic 
       antics together with descriptions of a sublime Arctic 
       landscape. At the top of the warming world, Quarmby 
       struggles with burnout and grief while an aerial artist 
       twirls high in the ship's rigging, bearded seals sing 
       mournfully, polar bears prowl, and glaciers crumble into 
       the sea. In a compelling narrative, sorrow and fear are 
       balanced by beauty and wonder. The author's journey back 
       from a life out of balance includes excursions into 
       evolutionary history where her discoveries reveal the 
       heart of human existence. The climate realities are as 
       dark as the Arctic winter, yet this is a book of lightness
       and generosity. Quarmby's voice, intimate and original, 
       illuminates the science while offering a reminder that 
       much about the human experience is beyond reason. 
       Inspiring and deeply personal, Watermelon Snow is the 
       story of one scientist's rediscovery of what it means to 
       live a good life at a time of increasing desperation about
       the future."--|cProvided by publisher.
