SUMMARY: Brian John discusses not only the workings of ice - the life and death of glaciers, their effects on the landscape and on the rise and fall of sea level - but shows as well how the ice has affected the animal and plant life, how it has influenced the evolution of mankind, and how the Eskimos and other present-day inhabitants of the ice fringes have learned to cope with the problems of a world dominated by ice. He also suggests ways in which the ice could be made to work for us and how and why we should set about conserving and managing for our own benefit the glaciers of the world. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall, Fine in As New dust jacket Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
