The term Little Ice Age' was originally used by glaciologists to
describe the most recent major glacial advance of the Holocene.
Subsequently, the Little Ice Age' has come to be associated with a
period of advances of European glaciers between about 1450 to 1850,
as well as with relatively cooler temperatures. The issue of
whether or not this concept remains accurate is a major theme of
many of the papers included in this volume. The main geographical
focus is on the North Atlantic and European sectors, and includes
research from a number of different palaeoclimatic fields. Examples
are the use of documentary sources, early instrumental records,
grain-harvest data, fossil-insect data, ice-core records, glacial
evidence, lichenometry, synoptic climatology, and also the human
dimensions of climate change. The papers presented reflect
state-of-the-art knowledge, as well as thought-provoking new
insights into these subject areas. The book will be of value to all
those interested in the above topics and in the overall themes of
climate variability and global change.
