| Bill Guyton summarizes the
history of the discovery of Ice Age glaciation and modern-day glaciers
in California, as well as the development of modern ideas about the state's
glacial history. He describes the controversy about the origin of Yosemite
Valley and quotes from the colorful accounts of early mountain explorers
such as John Muir, Josiah Whitney, and Franois Matthes. His book provides
a primer on glaciers and glacial landforms, a glossary of technical terms,
helpful illustrations, and a 100-mile Sierra field trip guide for readers
who want to see glaciers and glacial features for themselves. Glaciers
of California will make any visit to the mountains more interesting, whether
one is carrying a camera, crampons, or a fishing pole. |
