Book Synopsis Interpreting Pre-Quaternary Climate from the Geologic Record by : Judith Totman Parrish
Book excerpt: The earth's pre-Quaternary period--more than two million years ago--has been studied systematically only since the 1960's, when geologists started to take seriously the concept that the continents have changed position on the earth's surface. While previous books have dealt with climate models and paleoclimate, this is the first to offer a sustained exploration of the methods that are the foundation of any interpretation of earth processes.
