Editorial Reviews
Review
"The strengths of Quaternary Environments lie in its authoritative style, breadth of coverage both systematic and regional...and emphasis on linkages between the different components of the natural environment."--The Times Higher Educational Supplement
Product Description
The second edition of this authoritative introduction to the global environmental fluctuations of the Quaternary period has been thoroughly revised and updated, and now includes two new chapters: one on Quaternary soils and sediments, and one on the Milankovitch theory and its implications for Quaternary climatic oscillations. The book draws on examples from every continent, including Antarctica, and features a superb range of maps and illustrations. The time span covered includes relevant events during the Tertiary which set the stage for the Quarternary glaciations and associated changes in climate, vegetation, and prehistoric human development. Focusing on the interactions between geological, biological and hydrological processes, the book explores the effects of accelerating human impact on the environment and considers how far evidence from the Quartenary may be useful in predicting future environmental change.
