Scientists charged with producing a map of the earth during the last ice age ultimately confirmed the theory that the earth's irregular orbital motions account for the bizarre climatic changes which bring on ice ages. This book tells the story of those periods—what they were like, why they occurred, and when the next ice age is due.
