Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dramatic changes in climate that have occurred throughout the Earth's history, focusing on the glacial and post -glacial eras. The author, a prominent geologist of his time, challenges traditional assumptions about the role of glaciers in shaping the Earth's surface. Drawing upon his extensive fieldwork in the Cordilleras of North America, the author argues that glaciers are less powerful erosive forces than previously believed and that much of the geological work attributed to them is actually the result of water action. He further examines the cyclical nature of climate change, meticulously detailing evidence of past periods of intense precipitation, ice expansion, and subsequent desiccation. The book's insights extend beyond the Cordilleras, exploring similar patterns of climate change across continents, from the Himalayas to the Scandinavian Range, and ultimately challenging prevalent theories about the causes and consequences of the so -called "glacial epoch." Through detailed analysis of geological evidence and rigorous examination of prevailing scientific views, the author presents a compelling argument for a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between climate, geological processes, and the evolution of the Earth's landscapes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
