...turning directly into water vapor with no intermediate step. That tends to happen when temperatures are cold and the air is extremely dry, which is the case at Kilimanjaro's higher-than-19,000-ft. summit (it's the same reason ice cubes slowly wilt away in a frost-free freezer). That happens all the time, but if there's less precipitation to build the glaciers back up, which may be the case here, the result is a net loss of ice. (See TIME's photo-essay "This Fragile Earth...
...Hooper's new film, The Damned United, British actor Michael Sheen takes on Clough. Like the two roles he's best known for - Tony Blair in The Queen and David Frost in Frost/Nixon - the part was written for Sheen by British playwright Peter Morgan, their sixth collaboration.

Previous collaborators on “Frost/Nixon” (in which Sheen played television presenter David Frost) and “The Special Relationship,” “The Deal,” and “The Queen” (all of which featured the Welsh actor as Tony Blair), Morgan and Sheen now embark on a very different kind of period piece...

What made you decide to write this book? Living here in Alaska, cold is pretty much present all the time. Whether it's actually cold outside or not, you see signs of cold everywhere. The street in front of my house, for example, is very badly frost-heaved, so it has big waves in the street. Looking in the mountains that I can see outside my window, there is very obvious glacial erosion that creates these beautiful U-shaped alpine valleys. And the wildlife around here, of course, is all adapted to the cold. What better topic to write about...
