Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cause of the Ice Age and of Geological Climates
Before entering further into this discussion, it may not be out of place to brie?y review the principal theories advanced to account for the Ice Age. It will be seen that physicists and astronomers have vied with geologists in the diligence of this search for the cause of this age, and their minds have been as fertile in the number of causes assigned as the true one. Not one of all the causes suggested has been sustained by argument without a ?aw in the reasoning, and no demonstration has been made which has carried conviction to the scientific world.
It would not be instructive to attempt to review all of the theories which have been urged The leading ones only will be brie?y mentioned.
