Global warming usually seems to happen far away, but one catastrophic effect of climate change is underway right now in the Rocky Mountains. In The Melting World, Chris White travels to Montana to chronicle the work of Dan Fagre, a climate scientist and ecologist, whose work shows that alpine glaciers are vanishing rapidly close to home. For years, Fagre has monitored the ice sheets in Glacier National Park proving that they--and by extension all Rocky Mountain ice--will melt far faster than previously imagined. How long will the ice fields survive? What are the consequences on our environment? The Melting World chronicles the first extinction of a mountain ecosystem in what is expected to be a series of such global calamities as humanity faces the prospect of a world without alpine ice.

Pretty nice
Color: 1-Brown, Size: S
It’s kinda cheap but not too bad pretty nice overall and for the price. Good gift I noticed when I went to check and gift it that the interior had some wripples and seemed like seems (string hanging) but they actually refunded me for that. So that was really nice. It’s a good gift overall but you get what you pay for.

Nice size for valet

Good size. Looks nice. Keep it handy on night stand. Holds everything from my husband's pockets & doesn't oversize the table.

Honestly Perfect
Color: 1-Black, Size: S
As a student, this Valet has made my life so much easier! I wake up around 530-6, and it's really easy to feel discombobulated so early. I keep everything I need for the day in this valet before I head out: Chapstick, gum, phone, wallet, keys, watch, even change for parking. It just makes my day so much more efficient because I can grab it and head out w/o thinking. Not to mention the material it's super sleek, affordable, and it looks great on any nightstand. It prevents me from missing anything, and its honestly one of the best investments I've made in college for just getting my day started. Thanks again Baoyun! Mad love, - Anthony

Beige Liner picks up lint, difficult to clean
Color: 1-Black, Size: S, Color: 1-Black, Size: S
I purchased this for my husband to organize things on his nightstand. The design is good and it looks nice, but the interior part with the beige suede picks up dark lint and is difficult to clean. It just makes it look dirty. I've tried vacuuming it, using a lint brush, taking it off with tape, etc. to no avail. It would be better if the inside was the same black material as the exterior.
