Raymond Bradley's masterful Paleoclimatology, published in 1999, would be a hard act for anyone to follow, so perhaps it was a bit unfair of me to have had such high expectations for Paleohydrology. The book suffers in comparison for two reasons. First, the book is basically a report of the INQUA Commission on Global Continental Paleohydrology (GLOCOPH),and thus largely serves as a vehicle for members of the Commission to describe their activities and findings for the period 1991–2002. As a result, it does not have the clarity of focus and organization, nor breadth of coverage, found in Paleoclimatology.
