Out Of The Ice - How Climate Change Is Revealing the Past Pevná vazba
As climate change is warming our planet, the ice in Earth's cryosphere is melting --- from glaciers to mountaintop patches to permafrost. Tools, clothing and, perhaps most remarkable, human bodies have been revealed at the edges the retreating ice. An unexpected result of this melting has been the discovery of artifacts that were long preserved in the ice's depths.
This one-of-a-kind introduction to the work of these researchers examines some of the fascinating artifacts that have been uncovered and the insights they provide into how our ancestors lived. Examining these discoveries, along with traces of plants and animals also melting out of the ice, is the work of researchers in a brand-new scientific field called glacial archaeology. It also describes the urgency of this work; as soon as these clues to the past become exposed to the elements, they begin to disintegrate.Award-winning
