Reviews

This text will be of interest to ecologists, environmental scientists, foresters, earth scientists and students of global climate change...valuable for the reconstruction of forest vegetation - Biological Abstracts; Overall, the editors are to be commended on producing a book that is well balanced in its coverage of this broad subject. Most chapters have a summary, the book is indexed, and it is remarkable free of errors. The low price and scope of the book will surely mean that it is already on shelves in many offices as well as libraries - Forest Ecology and Management; This text will be of interest to ecologists, environmental scientists, foresters, earth scientists and students of global climate change...valuable for the reconstruction of forest vegetation - Biological Abstracts; Overall, the editors are to be commended on producing a book that is well balanced in its coverage of this broad subject.
