Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origin of the Parallel Roads of Lochaber, a geological phenomenon consisting of parallel lines etched into the hillsides of western Scotland. The author presents a theory challenging the prevailing glacial explanation, arguing instead that they were formed by the combined action of ocean waves and tides during a period of gradual land subsidence. The book delves into the geological, astronomical, and physical principles underlying this theory, examining evidence from various scientific disciplines to support the author's perspective. By offering an innovative interpretation of the Parallel Roads, the author deepens our understanding of the processes that have shaped the Earth's surface over time.
