Ice Age by John Gribbin

Ice Age by John Gribbin

For years scientists refused to believe that ice ages existed, and it was not until the mid-1970s that ice ages were fully understood. The authors tell this 140-year story by focusing on the personalities involved, including a janitor who had access to the Andersonian Museum library.

"So you think it's cold now? This readable little work will make you glad you are not a whole lot colderJohn and Mary Gribbin's pithy book tells us we are lucky not to be living under the heavy mantle if ice and snow which permanently covered Scotland and the north of England 10,000 years ago" - The Daily Telegraph

John Gribbin is the acclaimed author of many popular science books in Penguin, including The Little Book of Science (1999). Mary Gribbin is best known as a writer of science books for young readers. Together the Gribbins have written several science books, including Richard Feynman: A Life in Science (Penguin, 1998).
