Glaciers are considered a key and an iconic indicator of climate change. The World Glacier Monitoring Service has noted that global alpine balance has been negative for 35 consecutive years. This highlights the dire future that alpine glaciers face. The goal of this volume is to tell the story, glacier by glacier, of response to climate change from 1984-2015. Of the 165 glaciers examined in 10 different alpine regions, 162 have retreated significantly. It is evident that the changes are significant, not happening at a "glacial" pace, and are profoundly affecting alpine regions. There is a consistent result that reverberates from mountain range to mountain range, which emphasizes that although regional glacier and climate feedbacks differ, global changes are driving the response. This book considers ten different glaciated regions around the individual glaciers, and offers a different tune to the same chorus of glacier volume loss in the face of climate change.

Mount Terminus : un promontoire rocheux à la frange du désert Mojave en Californie. A son sommet, une villa bâtie aux temps des conquêtes espagnoles, dont les dédales regorgent de secrets. Délimitant la vaste propriété, d'extraordinaires jardins à la végétation luxuriante. Au-delà : rien. Un désert balayé par les vents qui se jette dans l'Océan Pacifique, dont nulle tempête ne trouble l'horizon infini. C'est là, au tout début du 20ème siècle, que viennent s'installer Jacob Rosenbloom et son fils de neuf ans, Joseph. Jacob, inventeur de génie, a conçu pour Thomas Edison le mécanisme du premier projecteur d'images en mouvement - et le cinéma est né. Mais la fortune ne suffit pas à effacer le passé trouble de Jacob. Forcés de tout quitter, père et fils traversent le pays pour se réfugier à Mount Terminus. Joseph, qu'on appelle Bloom, y grandira dans le retranchement et la contemplation, jusqu'à ce que la modernité balbutiante fasse irruption dans ce paradis isolé, et que se révèlent de lourds secrets de famille. Mount Terminus est une extraordinaire épopée qui mêle le gothique au merveilleux et nous livre une fresque digne des plus grands chefs-d'oeuvres d'Hollywood. Il y est question des liens du sang, de duplicité, de la valeur de l'art, de la folie conquérante et de la grande Histoire, car c'est bien Los Angeles qu'avec Bloom, depuis le sommet de Mount Terminus, nous voyons apparaître au fil des pages - une ville créée de toutes pièces, née d'un désert et de l'ambition démesurée d'un seul homme.
