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.
