✦ Synopsis
integrative create minor problems throughout the text. Most of the chapter authors cited Kutzbach's paper of paleoclimatic modeling. which was located very near the end of the text; perhaps his paper could have been presented as a n initial hypothesis tested by subsequent chapters.
This book should belong on the shelf of every Quaternary scientist. It complements. rather than replaces the recent two-volume set "Late Quaternary Environments of the United States" (Wright. 1983; Porter, 19831 by focusing on the transition between late Pleistocene and Holocene, by concentrating on physical causes, and by including the Canadian part of the continent. "North America and adjacent oceans during the last deglaciation" succeeds in demonstrating that understanding climatic change requires the historic perspective of the Quaternary scientist.
