This book was released on 1965 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-scale patterned ground in the Donnelly Dome area of central Alaska consists of polygons 25 to 46 m in diameter bounded by shallow troughs 1 to 2 m wide that form the sides of the polygons. The troughs are underlain by wedge-shaped masses of sediments that extend downward 2 to 3 m. Texture of the sediments of the wedges is distinct from that of the poorly stratified glacial outwash gravel that the wedges transect. Sediments of the wedge vary texturally along the strike and vertically within a given wedge. The coarsest material in the wedge is about 75 mm in diameter, which is the same size as the coarsest material in the outwash. The fine material in the wedges is silt, the same as that which blankets the area. The patterned ground of the Donnelly Dome area originated during Wisconsin time when the mean annual air temperature was at least 3C colder than now. Wigh the warming of the climate in post-Wisconsin time most of the perennially frozen gravel thawed and the ice wedges melted. The voids created by the melting of the ice wedges were filled with sediment that was washed from the surface or collapsed from the thawed sides of the voids. The troughs bounding the polygons are now, however, no longer underlain with ice wedges but with ice wedge pseudomorphs (fossil ice wedges). (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book Thorson and his colleagues in other scientific disciplines, each with a personal commitment to the Great Land, interpret past performances in its geologic and human history and put them into everyday perspective, in everyday terms. We see the oceans rising and falling, the Great Ice Sheet advancing and retreating, mountain ranges building and crumbling, monster mammals roaming the land as vegetation grows and spreads, human beings crossing the Bering Land Bridge to populate the New World. It's science-fact more gripping than science-fiction, a beautiful story, sure to capture the imagination and add to the understanding of the powers at work on Planet Earth"--Page 4 of cover.
