Eiszeit und Klimawechsel

A clear‑sighted guide to the great ice ages, this work walks readers through the geological clues that reveal how climate has swung between frozen and temperate worlds. Written for anyone fascinated by nature, it blends solid science with vivid storytelling, all supported by detailed black‑and‑white plates. The author’s tone is conversational yet rigorous, making complex ideas feel approachable without sacrificing depth.

Venturing into the high Sudeten, the narrative follows a hiker who surveys ancient moraines, lingering snowfields and the delicate alpine plants that once shared the ice’s grip. By describing species such as Linnaea borealis and Saxifraga nivalis, the book shows how living flora serve as living fossils of a glacial past. Listeners will come away with a tangible sense of how Earth's climate has reshaped the landscape, and why those changes still matter today.
