The straight goods on the current ice age

In the past one billion years of the earth’s history, only about 200 million have seen ice at the poles. Why is there ice at the earth’s polar caps and why is this unusual?
I came across a straight explanation in After the Ice Age: The Return of Life to Glaciated North Americaby Professor E.C.Pielou
Professor Pielou, a specialist in mathematical ecology, taught at Dalhousie University and published this book in 1991, before the global warming hysteria had reduced the question of climate change to partisan shouting.
This book succinctly tells us about why ice ages come and go. It supplies essential background information for those who wish to know about our climate, and conforms to what I have read in other books by geologists and science writers.
