The book thus provides a balanched outlook to Holocene research and
acts as an excellent introduction to this exciting arena of
palaeoclimatology. The book is a must have for every aspiring
Holocene scholar.
The New Zealand Medical Student Journal
'Global Change in the Holocene,' can be highly recommended as
essential reading for all those interested in the science of
Holocene environmental change. The book provides a
state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary guide to this research field,
the hour of which has truly come.
The Holocene
This book is an excellent resume of these issues and will form an
essential basis for future mountain research within a number of
disciplines.
The Holocene 15
I consider this book an essential purchase for libraries of all
institutions that profess any interest in the research or teaching
of aspects of Holocene climate science.
Journal of Quarternary Science
All of the papers selected for the book are highly relevant and
objective, thus providing the reader with the most recent views and
results about the subject matter. References are of high scientific
quality and up-to-date as at time of publication. Chapters are
arranged in a logical order and ideas are presented in such a way
that readers can make their own decision about the conclusions. In
general, this book is the result of a well-organised effort to
bring together high-quality articles meant to present the major
global changes in the Holocene.
Geographica Helvetica
This extremely well illustrated book with 12 colour plates clearly
describes in detail how the Holocene spans the 11 500 years since
the end of the last Ice Age. This work clearly demonstrates how the
record of environmental change during the Holocene can provide
scientists with the vital information about how our environment
operates. It presents the reader with an informed viewpoint from
which to predict the future. For the student and the scholar in
this important field of research, the reader will not be
disappointed with this well written book of 29 learned essays.
The International Journal of Environmental Studies
This book will be an informative and cutting-edge resource for all
researchers in the fields of climatic change, environmental
science, geography, palaeoecology and archaeology.
CAB Abstracts
The suite of expert authors is impressive and they have done a
remarkable job in presenting their often sophisticated approaches
clearly and succinctly. Even the experienced specialist may well
find inspiration for new hypotheses to test.
