The Holocene provides students, researchers and lay-readers with the remarkable story of how the natural world has been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 years ago. This period has witnessed a shift from environmental changes determined by natural force…
Revised and updated to take account of the most recent advances, this 2nd edition includes material on scientific progress in research into climate, disturbance effects and landscape change, and recent ideas on the causes of lake salinity.
In its first edition, The Holocene provided undergraduates with a much--needed coherent scientific account of the great transformation of nature that had taken place during the Holocene, the last 10,000 years in the history of the planet and the period in which we are all now li…

"Ecosystems today are dynamic and complex, leaving conservationists faced with the paradox of conserving moving targets. New approaches to conservation are now required that aim to conserve ecological function and process, rather than attempt to protect static snapshots of biodi…
This volume presents an optimistic vision for the conservation and management of dynamic landscapes through a perspective that embraces the continuum between past, present, and future, illustrating how palaeoecology and other long-term data can contribute to conserving biodivers…

The end of the Pleistocene era brought dramatic environmental changes to small bands of humans living in North America: changes that affected subsistence, mobility, demography, technology, and social relations. The transition they made from Paleoindian (Pleistocene) to Archaic (…
