The study of the Quaternary ice age has revolutionized ideas about
Earth system change and the pace of landscape and ecosystem
dynamics. The Ice Age: A Very Short Introduction looks at evidence
from the continents, the oceans, and the ice core records, and the
human stories behind it all. Jamie Woodward examines the remarkable
environmental shifts that took place during the Great Ice Age of
the Quaternary Period. He explores the evolution of ideas,
evaluates the contributions of the leading players in the great
debates, and presents some of the ingenious methods that have been
used to retrieve information about the recent geological past.
In an era of warming climate, the study of the ice age past is now
more important than ever. This book examines the wonders of the
Quaternary ice age - to show how ice age landscapes and ecosystems
were repeatedly and rapidly transformed as plants, animals, and
humans reorganized their worlds.
About the Series:
Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and
original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to
Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and
Archaeology to the Bible. Not simply a textbook of definitions,
each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet
always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in
a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a
readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how
the subject has developed and how it has influenced society.
Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic
discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant
reference library. Whatever the area of study that one deems
important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the
general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and
affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
