First published in 1977, the second volume of Climate: Present,
Past and Future covers parts III and IV of Professor Hubert Lamb's
seminal and pioneering study of climatology. Part III provides a
survey of evidence of types of climates over the last million
years, and of methods of dating that evidence. Through the earlier
stages of the Earth's development the book traces what is known of
the various geographies presented by the drifting continents and
indicates what can be learnt about climatic regimes and the causes
of climatic change. From the last ice age to the present our
knowledge of the succession of climates is summarized, indicating
prevailing temperatures, rainfalls, wind and ocean current patterns
where possible. Part IV considers events during the fifteen years
prior to the book's initial publication, leading on to the problems
of estimating the most probable future course of climatic
development, and the influence of Man's activities on climate.
Alongside the reissue of volume 1, this Routledge Revival will be
essential reading for anyone interested in both the causes and
workings of climate and in the history of climatology itself.
