Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: "It is a detailed synthesis of rigorous palaeoenvironmental research in polar regions, and an overview showing the potential and limits of the different geological archives that can be examined to understand past and future climatic trends. … this book provides an excellent reference for palaeolimnologists, and I highly recommend it as a ‘must-have’ book for anyone interested in the climate change debate." Massimo Gasparon, Environmental Geology, Vol. 50 (3), 2006 "This book provides a synthesis of the broad spectrum of techniques available for generating long-term environmental records from circumpolar lakes, in addition to providing overviews of the geographic extent of paleolimnological work completed thus far in these regions. It explores the diverse ways in which paleolimnology is used to address the pressing and emerging environmental issues of high-latitude regions" SIL News 50: June 2007
