The Coming Ice Age

"The Coming Ice Age" by C. A. M. Taber is a scientific exploration of climate change, with a focus on ice ages and how the climate shifts between hot and cold times. Taber uses his own observations from years at sea and what he learned from science books to try and figure out what caused old ice ages. He points to the evidence of old glaciers around the world noting how important wind and ocean currents are in changing the climate. The book is like a journey to figure out how the climate works, by studying what happened in the past.
