Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 312 pages. dj worn Frank Rhind was lucky. He saw the ice Danc er and lived. The town of Hays died. And still they didn't believ e Dr. William Stovin's warnings. For very many years climatologis ts had been predicting a change in the world's climate but they a lways believed that the process would take centuries. Now there w as a reason to believe differently. Stovin had staked his career and credibility on trying to persuade the U.S. National Science C ouncil to act, but 15,000 years of warmth had lulled mankind into thinking that climatic history was over. Already it was too late . The new Ice Age had begun. One by one the great northern cities - Chicago, Oslo, Montreal, Moscow, Leningrad - came under siege. Some fell and were evacuated, sending their young, old and sick to crowded areas further south. Crops and animals were destroyed. Governments drew lines of catastrophe across their national maps . Doomsday prophets were in full cry. Technological man was overw helmed. The world had changed. Some time in the year future the n ext Ice Age will be triggered off. It could happen in a thousand years' time, or in a century from now. Or it could, quite literal ly, happen next winter. This book is fiction only because the eve nts described have not yet happened. But it is not science fictio n because all the science in the book is fact. When the year arri ves that we see the sixth winter resembling 1792 within the space of a decade or so, then the Ice Age will be with us in a matter of weeks - and it will develop very much as described here.
