We are in the grip of global warming: sea levels are rising;
glaciers are melting, Arctic sea ice is thinning, meteorological
events are becoming more extreme. But how do these changes compare
with the environmental changes that have occurred in the past? How
can they be put into perspective? What can we learn from the past
to help us better understand how natural and human factors may
interact to change our climate and environment in the future?
Global Environments through the Quaternary delves into the
environmental changes that have taken place during the Quaternary:
the last 2.6 million years of geological history and time during
which humans have evolved and spread across the Earth. Taking the
reader through the Pleistocene and the Holocene, the book describes
the evidence that has helped us to characterize environmental
changes during these two epochs; it then explores the changes
captured by more recent meteorological records in the period up to
the present day. Throughout, it aims to convey the relevance of
palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic studies to current
environmental and climatic concerns. Climate change research
foretells of potentially catastrophic consequences in the future
and, even now, early indicators of those changes are evident in the
retreating Greenland ice sheet, melting permafrost, changes in fish
distributions in northern waters, and more besides. The book
examines changes to the physical environment throughout the
Quaternary, putting current concerns into perspective, and closes
with a discussion of the causes of climatic and environmental
change over different timescales - and the complex interactions
between human impacts and natural processes. With climate change -
itself but part of the perpetual process of environmental change -
as important a topic of debate now as at any other time, Global
Environments through the Quaternary is essential reading for any
student seeking a balanced, objective overview of this truly
interdisciplinary subject. Online Resource Centre The Online

Shakespeare has been one of the most-cited authors since his plays
were performed, and yet little attention has been paid to his views
on psychic phenomena. It took another 300 years of paranormal
experiences before scholars at Cambridge University helped to found
the Society for Psychical Research, which brought scientific
scrutiny to the area, and the UK is now a world leader in
university research on this topic. This book throws new light on
many historical case reports from Shakespeare's time onwards. It
identifies the core experiences that transcend time and give clues
to an understanding of psychic phenomena. The book highlights
Shakespeare's insights, showing how these relate to, and even
amplify, the conclusions of later and on-going research. In our
time of disconnectedness from nature, the book discusses neglected
human experiences which represent an important part of life and
which do, in fact, occur to most of us. In doing so, the book
raises awareness against the emptiness of a zombie-like existence
in today's society and offers a new approach to life and death, and
their deeper meaning.
