    I could quibble about dates, but his ice ages seem to reflect the knowledge
    we had at the time. He leaves out the Ordovician ice age - now retitled
    the Andean-Saharan ice age but I am not sure how well that was known
    in 1974. That the Sahara had been ice covered at one time was well known,
    but this was considered to be part of a "small" ice sheet and a short, minor ice age. Which is no longer considered to be the case.

    Given that the competition is Piers Anthony's "Rings of Ice", I'd give
    Tucker an A+ on this one.
