Publisher's Synopsis
The Glacial History of Nantucket and Cape Cod is a book written by John Howard Wilson and published in 1906. The book provides a comprehensive account of the glacial history of the Nantucket and Cape Cod regions, including the geological formations, topography, and the effects of glacial activity on the landscape. The author argues for a fourth center of glacial depression in North America, in addition to the three previously identified centers. He presents evidence to support his theory, including the presence of glacial deposits and the direction of glacial movement in the region. Wilson's work is based on extensive research and fieldwork, and he provides detailed descriptions of the geological features of the area. The book includes numerous illustrations, maps, and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the complex geological processes involved in glacial activity. Overall, The Glacial History of Nantucket and Cape Cod is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the geology and natural history of this region of North America. It provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the glacial activity that shaped the landscape of Nantucket and Cape Cod, and presents a compelling argument for the existence of a fourth center of glacial depression in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
