"The Holocene" provides students, researchers and lay-readers
with the remarkable story of how the natural world has been
transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 years
ago. This period has witnessed a shift from environmental changes
determined by natural forces to those dominated by human actions,
including those of climate and greenhouse gases. Understanding the
environmental changes - both natural and anthropogenic - that have
occurred during the Holocene is of crucial importance if we are to
achieve a sustainable environmental future.Revised and updated to
take full account of the most recent advances, the third edition of
this classic text includes substantial material on the scientific
methods that are used to reconstruct and date past environments, as
well as new concepts such as the Anthropocene. The book is
fully-illustrated, global in coverage, and contains case studies, a
glossary and more than 500 new references.Additional resources for
