A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Focuses on both natural and anthropogenically-induced changes that have occurred in the landscape of the temperate zone during the closing stages of the last glacial and over the course of the present interglacial. Beginning with a study for evidence for environmental change, it is followed by a discussion of the patterns and causes of both long term and short term climate change, and the effects of climatic change on the biotic and abiotic components of the landscape. The human dimension is explored through an examination of the impact of environment change on people, the effects of people on the landscape and the increasing influence of human activity on climate.

Revue de presse :

'This is an excellent text, full of interesting material and with a logically developed theme.'

'...the authors score by virtue of combining their skills and outlook as environmental archeologist and Quaternary physical geographer' (Journal of Biogeography)
