While a number of previous books have dealt with climate models and paleoclimate, this is the first book to offer a sustained exploration of the geological and paleontological methods that are the foundation of any interpretation of Earth processes. Focusing primarily on the description and analysis of paleoclimatic indicators, this reference work offers explanations of biotic and lithologic indicators in the marine and terrestrial realms and includes case histories of paleoclimatic studies.
Interpreting Pre-Quaternary Climate from the Geologic Record will be an important resource for students and scientists alike.

First Sentence
"Paleoclimatology-the study of ancient climates-has been practiced at least since the time of Agassiz and Darwin, both of whom were particularly interested in evidence for glaciers where none exist today (Agassiz 1828; Darwin 1842), and in what the presence of those glaciers might have implied about climatic change."
