This book focuses on two complementary time-scales, the Holocene (approximately the last 11,500 years) and the last glacial-interglacial cycle (approximately the last 130,000 years) to synthesize evidence of climate variability at the regional and continental scale across Europe and Africa. This is the first examination of historical climate variations at such a scale, and thus sets a benchmark for future research.
Past Climate Variability through Europe and Africa
and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle.

Review
From the reviews: "This volume presents an impressive overview of the range of ongoing paleoclimate research along the whole Afro-European transect … . This volume represents another highlight of the international efforts on improving our understanding of global change. … Overall, the volume is very well edited, including the figures. … The editors have to be congratulated for their excellent work." (Vera Markgraf, Journal of Paleolimnology, Vol. 36, 2006)
