Reviews:
"This is a very well-written and wide-ranging volume that is
both instructive and topical. It is likely to prove useful as an
introduction to the general area, a reference source and for
teaching purposes." ("The Holocene," November 2008)
"If you thought that paleolimnology was just mud, pollen, and
diatoms then you will likely be both struck by the complexity of
this field of research and grateful that John Smol, FRSC, has
described it so clearly and broadly. Simply put, the second edition
is an excellent book." "( Journal of Phycology, 2008)"
"This is a useful text. It provides a good level of detail so
that the beginner in this area can appreciate what palaeolimnology
can (and cannot) achieve. It goes beyond the simple introduction to
provide a detailed understanding of how techniques can be applied
... This is a different take on the usual pollution text and would
be of great use to those wishing to understand more from
sedimentary records." "Taken from the British Ecological Society's
Teaching Ecology website"
"John Smol has extensive experience in this field of
paleoenvironmental research which he combines well with his
excellent written communication skills to produce a text that is
easy to read but also thought provoking." "(Quaternary Science
Reviews, 2009)"
"The breadth of coverage in this text is impressive." "(Lake and
Reservoir Management"," 2009)"
"If I could speak with fluidity and clarity in my lectures as
consistently as John Smol writes my students would be very
grateful." "(Journal of Paleolimnology, 2009)"
