Synopsis
This concise modern survey examines the many recent interdisciplinary developments in the study of environmental changes over the last three million years. It is the fourth edition of this acclaimed book and has been completely revised to reflect the substantial amount of new information and to provide an up-to-date analysis of this important and politicized topic. The outline of the book remains the same, with the new material incorporated throughout. The most heavily revised sections are those on techniques for environmental reconstruction, glaciation in lower altitudes and the southern hemisphere, climatic changes in the twentieth century, and the causes of environmental change. These sections include numerous new illustrations and new guides to further reading. The broad geographical coverage and non-technical language make this book valuable to students in a wide range of courses in geology, physical geography, archaeology, and the life sciences.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. We are in the grip of global warming, so we are told: sea levels are rising; glaciers are melting; meteorological events are becoming more extreme. But to what extent are these differences a deviation from the norm or merely part of an ongoing cycle of change? How can they be put into perspective? Global Environments through the Quaternary delves into the environmental changes that have taken place during the Quaternary: the two to three million years during which man has inhabited 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. Current climate change research foretells of potentially catastrophic sea-level changes in the future; chapter seven examines sea-level changes throughout the Quaternary, putting current concerns into perspective. The book closes with a look at the environmental basis of climate change - and the impact of human activity upon it. Global Environments through the Quaternary captures our current understanding of the field within in a vibrant, two-colour text design, using many custom-drawn figures to help students visualise the concepts being presented. With climate change - itself but part of a the perpetual process of environmental change - as fierce a topic of debate now as at any other time, Global Environments through the Quaternary is essential reading for any students seeking a balanced, objective overview of this truly interdisciplinary subject. Online Resource Centre: The Online Resource Centre features figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture preparation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR002048802
