What reading level is The Antiquity of Man in Europe, Being the Munro Lectures, 1913 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence the motion is greater in summer than in winter, and during day than during night. Again, other things being equal, a glacier moves more rapidly on a steep than on a gentle slope ; while very thick ice-streams flow faster than glaciers of relatively insignificant dimensions.
The glaciers to which I have been referring are typically represented by those of the Alps- — the distinguishing character of which is that they have their source in deep mountain-recesses whence they make their way do...wn mountain valleys. But there are other types of ice-flow of great interest, especially from a geological point of view. These may be called ice-cap glaciers, of which excellent examples are seen in Norway. The configuration of that country differs essentially from that of the Alps. In the latter we have a complicated series of mountain- groups and crested ranges, everywhere overlooking the profound cirques and deep valleys in which glaciers are generated. Norway, on the other hand, is a lofty plateau, deeply trenched, it is true, by mountain valleys and fiords, but showing between these depressions extensive tracts with a relatively flat or undulating surface, which are often not dominated by peaks or ridges.
