<br/><br/>Ice crystal gallery -- The beginnings of halo science -- How halos form -- Halo simulations -- Halos from prismatic crystals -- Odd radius halos are real -- Odd radius circular halos -- Some crystallography -- Pyramidal ice crystals -- The search for angle x -- Refraction halos and wedge angle -- The spin vector -- A user's guide to halo poles -- Odd radius plate arcs -- Odd radius column arcs -- Odd radius Parry arcs -- Other wedge angles? 
<br/><br/> This title provides a multi-facet view of halo science and will be a landmark study of odd-radius halos. Features include: the "how to" in observation and photography, carefully analysed photos of rare displays and pyramidal ice crystals, the early history of halo science, authoritative discussion of odd radius halos, and more.
