Reviews

`... perhaps the first combined, focused and broad perspective of the North Atlantic Ocean climate variability and its influence on a variety of biological processes. ... We strongly recommend this book' Journal of Marine Systems

This is an important book for us all and achieves its aims well. It draws together much knowledge on the ways that current climate change is influencing our oceans and ourselves, with unsettling conclusions. Mark Young, Marine Ecosystems and Climatic Variation, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society 2006, 37:1
