What causes Ice Ages? How did we learn about them? What were their
affects on the social history of humanity? Allan Mazur's book tells
the appealing history of the scientific 'discovery' of Ice Ages.
How we learned that much of the Earth was repeatedly covered by
huge ice sheets, why that occurred, and how the waning of the last
Ice Age paved the way for agrarian civilization and, ultimately,
our present social structures. The book discusses implications for
the current 'controversies' over anthropogenic climate change,
public understanding of science, and (lack of) 'trust in experts'.
In parallel to the history and science of Ice Ages, sociologist
Mazur highlights why this is especially relevant right now for
humanity. Ice Ages: Their Social and Natural History is an
engrossing combination of natural science and social history:
glaciology and sociology writ large.
