Theory Of The Glaciers Of Savoy (1874) - Paperback

Theory of the Glaciers of Savoy is a scientific book written by Louis Le Chanoine Rendu in 1874. The book is an in-depth study of the glaciers in the Savoy region of France, and it presents a comprehensive theory on how glaciers form, move and shape the landscape. Rendu was a French priest and geologist who was one of the first scientists to study the glaciers of the Alps in detail. He used his observations and measurements to develop a theory that explained the behavior of glaciers based on their physical properties and the forces that act upon them. The book includes detailed descriptions of the various types of glaciers found in the Savoy region, including valley glaciers, cirque glaciers, and ice caps. Rendu also discusses the effects of climate change on glaciers and how they are affected by changes in temperature and precipitation. The book is a seminal work in the field of glaciology and is still widely referenced today. It is written in a clear and concise style that makes it accessible to both scientists and non-scientists alike.To Which Are Added The Original Memoir, And Supplementary Articles By Peter Guthrie Tait Amd John Ruskin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
