Theory of the Glaciers of Savoy is a book written by Louis Le Chanoine Rendu and first published in 1874. It is a scientific study of the glaciers in the Savoy region of the French Alps. Rendu was a French geologist, climatologist, and Catholic priest who made significant contributions to the study of glaciers and their movement. In this book, he presents his observations and theories on the formation, movement, and characteristics of glaciers, as well as their effects on the landscape and climate.
