Rezensionen

"This is a very impressive synthesis of multidiciplinary research carried out on the British Isles and I am convinced it will inspire future research in Quaternary science. I have greatly enjoyed the book and I would warmly recommend it..." -- Boreas Book Reviews

"The authors are to be congratulated on amassing such a wealth of material on the British Pleistocene - Geography; It is a welcome sight...to see a comprehensive up-to-date account of British Pleistocene stratigraphy. Indeed anyone responsible for teaching aspects of the British Pleistocene will breathe a sigh of relief to see such a detailed account of the extensive changes to the established sequence...recognized in recent years, finally compiled into a single

volume...this book will be invaluable to third-year and postgraduate students...as well as to the established Pleistocene worker - Holocene Book Reviews

"This is an important and necessary book...the achievement of a comprehensive survey and regional synthesis is very great - Journal of Archaeological Science

"...an ideal introduction to the student...I full recommend this volume as an excellent up-to-date account of a very dynamic area of research - New Phytol

"The book collects together a wide range of stratigraphic information and interpretations from diverse sources which otherwise would not be readily available. This is a welcome addition to Quaternary Studies in Great Britain - Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
