This title delves into the environmental changes that have taken place during the Quaternary: the last 2.6 million years of geological history and time during which humans have evolved and spread across the Earth. Going through the Pleistocene and the Holocene, the book describes the evidence that has helped us to characterise environmental changes during these two epochs; it then explores the changes captured by more recent meteorological records in the period up to the present day.
