Synopsis
Explore the roots of Earth's climates and the Ice Age.
A clear, thoughtful study that asks how climate has changed across geological time and what drove those shifts. This book argues that the planet’s own interior heat has a controlling role, shaping climates in ways that go beyond solar energy alone.
Marsden Manson surveys the major ideas about the Ice Age and reviews fossil and geological evidence from many regions. He explains why the Ice Age is best understood as a long interplay between earth heat, atmospheric conditions, and external energy, rather than a single, simple cause. The text blends accessible explanations with careful argument, aiming to illuminate how past climates relate to present ones.- How scientists test theories about ancient climates and Ice Age timing
- Why earth heat can dominate climate patterns alongside solar input
- How fossil life and geological records support a unified view of climatic change
- Implications for understanding climate on other planets as well as Earth
