Présentation de l'éditeur
I ktlie following pages I have endeayoured to give a full and concise statement of the facts and arguments adduced in support of the theory of Secular Changes of the Earth s Climate. Considerable portions of the volume have already appeared in substance as separate papers in the Philosophical Magazine and other journals during the past ten or twelve years. The theory, especially in as far as it relates to the cause of the glacial epoch, appears to be gradually gaining acceptance with geologists. This, doubtless, is owing to the greatly increased and constantly increasing knowledge of the drift-phenomena, which has induced the almost general conviction that a climate such as that of the glacial epoch could only have resulted from cosmical causes. Considerable attention has been devoted to objections, and to the removal of slight misapprehensions, which have naturally arisen in regard to a subject comparatively new and, in many respects, complex, and beset with formidable difficulties. I have studiously avoided introducing anything of a hypothetical character. All the conclusions are based either on known facts or admitted physical principles.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of geology, exploring how the forces of nature have shaped our planet over millions of years. The author argues that climate, rather than catastrophic events, has been the primary driver of geological change, and that the ordinary processes we see every dayââ ârain, rivers, frost, and snowââ âare responsible for carving out valleys and shaping mountains. By examining the records found in the stratified rocks, the author explores how climate has influenced the distribution of life on Earth throughout the ages, and how it continues to do so today. The author's central claim is that the astronomical cycles of the Earthââ â¢s orbit influence the climate, which in turn affects ocean currents, and ultimately drives the glacial and interglacial periods. This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on the relationship between climate and geological time, challenging conventional theories and providing a more nuanced understanding of the Earth's history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
