Book of the Week #51

Life at the Top: Tales, Truths, and Trusted Recipes from the Mount Washington Observatory. By Eric Pinder. (Down East Books, 1997)

Do you know where the coldest, windiest place in the world is?

Personally, I was not surprised to learn that it is in New Hampshire.

This book describes what it's like to live at the Mount Washington Observatory, why it is so cold there, and what the people who live there eat (Spring Thaw Soup anyone?). A little basic meteorology is thrown in for good measure.
