The monograph summarizes existing knowledge of the physics of ice. It covers the crystalline structure of ice including defects in structure, polycrystalline ice and grain boundaries, electrical properties of ice, thermal properties of ice, propagation of electromagnetic waves in ice and optical properties of ice, nucleation and growth of ice crystals, melting and evaporation of ice, and surface properties of ice. It also includes a comprehensive bibliography. (Author)
