Description
The Ice Age: A Very Short Introduction by Jamie Woodward The study of the Quaternary ice age has revolutionized our understanding of Earth system change and the pace of landscape and ecosystem dynamics. This book explores the environmental shifts that took place during the Great Ice Age of the Quaternary Period, examining evidence from the continents, oceans, and ice core records. Jamie Woodward evaluates the contributions of leading players in the great debates and presents ingenious methods used to retrieve information about the recent geological past. In an era of warming climate, the study of the ice age past is now more important than ever. This book reveals how ice age landscapes and ecosystems were repeatedly and rapidly transformed as plants, animals, and humans reorganized their worlds. The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press offers hundreds of titles in almost every subject area, providing a perfect introduction to new topics quickly and easily.
