Glacial geology

by Erickson, Jon

Though perhaps less frightening than earthquakes or volcanoes, ice is no less powerful a geologic force. What to most seems an occassional drivinghazard or sidewalk nuisance has at times in the Earth's history affected global weather conditions and brought about massive evolutionary change. In this book, the latest volume in the Changing Earth series, Erickson explains just how fortunate we are to live between ice ages.
