THE GREAT ICE AGE,
AND ITS RELATION TO THE ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
By JAMES GEIKIE, F.R.S.E., F.G.S., &c., of H.M. Geological Survey.
With Maps, Charts, and numerous illustrations. Demy 8vo, 24s.
“There is a great charm in the well-balanced union of cultivated powers of observation and analytical method, with considerable imagination and much poetical feeling, which runs through the pages of this volume.... We have indicated but imperfectly the philosophical spirit which marks every step of inquiry into the wonders of this ‘Great Ice Age,’ and we strongly recommend the volume to all who are prepared to read thoughtfully, and weigh the evidences of truth carefully, in the assurance of finding that there are indeed, ‘Sermons in Stones.’”—Athenæum.
“Every step in the process is traced with admirable perspicuity and fullness by Mr. Geikie.... This book will mark an epoch in the scientific study of the Ice Age.”—Saturday Review.
“The book shows everywhere the marks of acute observation, wide research, and sound reasoning. It presents in a readable form the chief features of the great Ice Age, and illustrates them very amply from those great tracts of Scotland in which glaciation has left its most distinct and most enduring marks.”—Spectator.
