Man and the Glacial Period
Produced by Tom Cosmas from materials provided at The Internet Archive.
"Man and the Glacial Period" by G. Frederick Wright is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the extensive relationship between human existence and the Glacial period, encompassing the evidence of glaciers' expansion during this epoch and its impact on human development in both Europe and America. It is designed to present a concise overview of accumulating facts regarding glacial phenomena and their historical context, accompanied by detailed illustrations. At the start of the work, Wright introduces the topic by detailing the current existence of glaciers around the world and inferring that they once covered much larger areas during a significant geological epoch. He outlines the characteristics of glaciers, including their formation, motion, and the geological effects they have on landscapes. This introduction sets the stage for a broader examination of how glacial activity was intimately linked to human history and development, positioning his analysis as both a geological and anthropological inquiry.
