The Great Ice Age - Climate Change and Life (Hardcover)

This textbook documents and explains the natural climatic and ecological changes that have occurred during the past 2.6 million years. It also outlines the emergence and global impact of humans during this period. Exploring a wide range of records of climate change, the authors demonstrate the connections between the components of the Earth's climate system, show how the evidence for such change is obtained, and explain some of the problems in collecting and dating proxy climate data.
The book reveals how the rise of humankind coincided with the beginnings of major environmental changes and a mass extinction. It shows that human effects on the world are not merely modern matters but date back a million years or more.
