What reading level is Penikese a Reminiscence book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rate at which glaciers moved in Amer- ica is not certain. In the Alps, where the slope adds to the inclination, the maximum motion per day is one foot; the minimum thirty inches per year. Let us assume that our glacier moved 100 feet a year, and it will take fifty years for the boulder to go one mile or 25, 000 years for it to reach its present po- sition. " [It has often struck me as a curious fact that in es- timating geological time Professor Agassiz (as well as others) appears to make n...o account of the fact that LECTURES. 6 1 were the motion of the glacier thirty inches a year the period would be forty times that amount or 1, 000, 000 years; if, on the other hand, the motion were faster, the time would decrease in proportion. The rate of time necessary to accomplish a given object may not always correspond with the numerical calculations of writers. Experiments in the chemical laboratory are sufficiently numerous to show the different actions of the same substance under different conditions, say some substances precipitate in 10 minutes with sufficient heat that might otherwise remain 10 or 10, 000 years without that heat, and to make us pretty careful as to how we lay down a law upon insufficient evidence.
