This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has
been completely revised and updated to provide a new account of the
history and scale of environmental changes during the Quaternary.
The evidence is extremely diverse ranging from landforms and
sediments to fossil assemblages and geochemical data, and includes
new data from terrestrial, marine and ice-core records. Dating
methods are described and evaluated, while the principles and
practices of Quaternary stratigraphy are also discussed. The volume
concludes with a new chapter which considers some of the key
questions about the nature, causes and consequences of global
climatic and environmental change over a range of temporal scales.
This synthesis builds on the methods and approaches described
earlier in the book to show how a number of exciting ideas that
have emerged over the last two decades are providing new insights
into the operation of the global earth-ocean-atmosphere system, and
are now central to many areas of contemporary Quaternary research.
This comprehensive and dynamic textbook is richly illustrated
throughout with full-colour figures and photographs. The book will
be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals
in Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physical Geography,
Geology, Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Archaeology and Anthropology
