Illustrations of the Viscous Theory of Glacier Motion : And Three Papers on Glaciers by John Tyndall

Omtale

This book brings together works published between 1846 and 1859 by James D. Forbes (1809–68) and John Tyndall (1820–93), both experienced alpinists as well as glaciologists. Their views on the motion of glaciers were disparate, and a scientific quarrel over primacy of discoveries continued even after their deaths.
