The book is a previously unpublished work by Siemon W. Muller (1900-1970), author of the first English-language book about perennially frozen ground. Muller stopped working on the nearly completed manuscript in the early 1960s and, for reasons unknown, set it aside about the time of the First International Conference on Permafrost in 1963. The manuscript remained frozen for several decades, until eventually it was discovered in his files. Editors French and Nelson guided the manuscript through the last phase of revision, provided context through an interpretive introduction, and ushered it through publication. A comprehensive revision and update of the 1947 edition of Muller's classic, this book reads like a how-to manual for engineering personnel working in pioneering or primitive circumstances. Like its predecessor, the book reviews the large Russian-language body of literature devoted to permafrost, but also covers work published in English. Topics include: basic scientific knowledge about perennially frozen ground and the engineering problems associated with it, the geography of permafrost, related elements of landscape science and ecology, periglacial geomorphology, and the physics of frozen ground. This book serves as a valuable historical document and is useful to anyone seeking basic knowledge about permafrost and appropriate methods for coping with associated engineering problems. 606 $aBuilding$xCold weather conditions 606 $aCivil engineering$xCold weather conditions 606 $aFrozen ground 615 0$aBuilding$xCold weather conditions. 615 0$aCivil engineering$xCold weather conditions. 615 0$aFrozen ground. 676 $a620/.411 700 $aMuller$b Siemon W$g(Siemon William),$f1900-1970.$01822743 701 $aFrench$b Hugh M$01822744 701 $aNelson$b Frederick E$01822745 712 02$aAmerican Society of Civil Engineers.$bTechnical Committee on Cold Regions Engineering. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006814103321 996 $aFrozen in time$94389100 997 $aUNINA
