History and Climate: Memories of the Future?

Summary: Review from "Progress in Physical Geography 26(3)"
Review: "Many books have been published on climatology although few are dedicated to the study of climate and history, which makes this book worthy of investigation for those interested in such a subject matter... Overall, the book contains much interesting, useful material that students and researchers from a variety of disciplines will benefit from reading... A flick through the chapters will almost certainly find something that suits your interests, and... it should retain a place in every library where there is an interest in either climate or history, or maybe even both."

Summary: Review from the International Journal of Climatology
Review: "The book has been well edited, with tables and figures well integrated into the text; the standard of English is also uniformly high. Each chapter is also followed by its own extensive references list... Overall, this book is an invaluable addition to any climatologist's bookshelf, but is best read selectively, depending on your own interests, rather than slavishly from cvoer to cover." - Ian D. Phillips, University of Birmingham, UK.

Summary: Review taken from Geological Journal Vol 38 No 2
Review: The book is an edited volume of some thirteen chapters that are arranged within four major subsections plus an introduction. The book covers a very wide range of topics and each chapter is written in its own style. The climatic time scale is from about AD 1000 to close to the present day. The book is accessible to the advanced undergraduate onwards. The book would be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well anyone with an interest in past and recent climate change or variability and to some extent its impact on past societies.
