Summary

"Glaciers of the Rockies and Selkirks, 2nd ed." by A.P. Coleman is an early 1900s science book that shares an in-depth view of the impressive glaciers in the Rocky Mountains and Selkirk range of Canada, describing how they formed, what they are like, and why they matter to the natural world. The book takes a close look at these glaciers, explaining how they move and form and also describing the plants and animals that live in these areas. Coleman talks about the different kinds of glaciers found there, like alpine and piedmont glaciers and also points out specific glaciers, like the Yoho, Victoria, Wenkchemna, and Illecillewaet. Each section of the book gives scientific information and shows the amazing beauty of these icy giants, encouraging people to understand how glaciers have shaped the land. The book also features notes from A. O. Wheeler, which add more information about these incredible natural wonders and highlights the changes that glaciers go through because of climate change.
