Folks:

This is really a beauty:

New USGS Publication on North America Glaciers:  Glaciers of North
America
(USGS Professional Paper 1386-J) is the newest of the 11-volume
Satellite
Image Atlas of Glaciers of the World series.  It is a review of
historical
and ongoing changes in the glaciers of Canada, United States, and
Mexico,
with reference to the Landsat image baseline years. Long-term monitoring
of
fluctuations of glaciers provides an important indicator of changes in
regional and global climates. The book is the result of a collaborative
effort between USGS, the National Park Service, U.S. and Canadian
universities, Geological Survey of Canada, and the U.K. International
Glaciological Society.

Additional information about the USGS Glacier
Project and other volumes in the series is available at
http://www.glaciers.er.usgs.gov.   You might look at the other glaciers
atlases available.

The author is Richard S. Williams.

The atlas costs $76 and you can order it from the usual places:
