Mårten Ajne published a comprehensive guidebook on Nordic Skating, in Swedish in 2012. A byproduct of that effort is his book on ice physics which is in English. The combination of text, formulas,illustrations, charts, tables and math give the reader a detailed and sophisticated understanding of how ice behaves with an emphasis on ice used for skating. If differential equations are not one of your skills, Mårten explains things very well and his excellent charts and illistrations are insightful.

Getting these books to the US is a bit of a problem. If you have a friend in Europe, that is probably the easiest way to get them. Bokus will ship to Canada.
