This book is a study of glacial processes and forms. Not only is it a critical and creative synthesis of recent research, but it also provides significant modifications to accepted theory and approach. In each chapter, the authors have proposed models and hypotheses as an aid to understanding and a stimulus to inquiry. At the same time, they present fundamental data from a wide range of sources, with particular attention to current work in Greenland and Antarctica..
