The Change in the Climate and Its Cause: Giving the Date of the Last Ice Age, Based on a Recent Astronomical Discovery and Geological Research (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Change in the Climate and Its Cause: Giving the Date of the Last Ice Age, Based on a Recent Astronomical Discovery and Geological Research

In this book the reasoning has been as far as possible kept free from technicalities. The explanation of the controversial points will, it is hoped, be sufficiently clear to enable the unprofessional reader to follow any further developments with enlightened interest.

The question is, perhaps, of more importance than can now be appreciated, and a careful reading of all the arguments is certainly to be recommended. If, however, the broad outlines of the theory relating to the change of climate and the glacial periods are all that is sought for, it is advisable to read mainly the Introduction and Part III.
