The Glaciers Of The Alps

The Glaciers of the Alps is a book written by John Tyndall that provides a comprehensive account of the glaciers of the Alps. The book is divided into three parts: excursions and ascents, the origin and phenomena of glaciers, and the physical principles related to glaciers. In the first part, Tyndall shares his personal experiences of exploring the glaciers of the Alps, including his observations of their size, shape, and movement. In the second part, he delves into the scientific explanations for the formation and behavior of glaciers, describing the role of temperature, pressure, and other factors in their development. Finally, in the third part, Tyndall discusses the physical principles underlying glaciers, such as the laws of thermodynamics and the properties of ice. The book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of the world, and a testament to Tyndall's mastery of both science and storytelling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
