very good condition SCARCE ORIGINAL VINTAGE ARTICLE; SCARCE ORIGINAL VINTAGE ARTICLE; NOVI006413; pages 6x9-1/2; 10 pages; Although some of Mr. Huntington's work was done from sheer love of exploration, most of it was directed toward a definite aim. His purpose was in general to study the effect of geographic conditions upon the life and character of primitive people. Later he became specifically interested in the question of changes of climate during historie times. All his later journeys were planned in order to throw light on this. It was the investigation of ancient lakes which led him into the dangerous regions of Afghanistan and into the unexplored salt wastes of Lop. His work has given rise to a distinct theory of pulsatory changes of climate, and of their effect upon history. Evidence of this seems to be found not only among the ruins, rivers and lakes of Asia, but in the trees of California, and in the remarkable civilization which sprang up about 2,000 years ago in Central America. He has published "The Climatic Factor" and "The Solar Hypothesis of Climatic Changes." His most recent work, published in 1915, is entitled "Civilization and Climate." These pages, neatly trimmed, are in mylar with a stiff backing board. Please not that it is not bound., Very Good with no dust jacket
