Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary is the second edition of Quaternary Paleoclimatology , long considered an excellent text for students in the emerging field of paleoclimate reconstruction. The new edition is a well‐written update that expands on the earlier compilation, and like its predecessor, is one of the most comprehensive overview and reference books in its field. Using just enough detailed discussion, Bradley describes a wide variety of climate records and includes the latest techniques used to reconstruct Quaternary climate. The comprehensive nature of this book can be discerned by browsing through the bibliography that covers 82 pages and contains over 1700 references.
