The purpose and scope of this book on theoretical glaciology is outlined in the Introduction. Its aim is to study the theoretical aspects of'ice mechanics' and the 'dynamics of ice masses in a geophysical environment. For the mature reader, the book can serve as an introduction to glaciology. How ever, this is not what I would regard as advisible. Glaciology is an inter disciplinary science in which many special scientific disciplines play their part, from descriptive geography to fairly abstract mathematics. Advance ment will evolve from a merger of two or more branches of scientific specialization. In the last 20 ... Read more

Reviews for Theoretical Glaciology
`...a remarkable book of high quality and of great importance to anybody who is interested in the mechanics of ice and glaciers. It has the advantage of being clearly written and it contains all the necessary background material.' Pageoph, 123 (1985) `...the book provides a very detailed mathematical treatment of ... Read more
