Book description: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Very Good/Very Good. 1980. First Edition. Hardback. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall 0521219620 Illustrated with 36 plates and 49 tables; as well as many figures in a separate booklet inside the back cover pocket. xi + 203 + 32 pages of plates. With Appendices and References. This account provides the basis for reconstructing environmental history in the immediate pre-glacial period of time. A number of climatic stages have been recognised, defined and related to the history of sedimentation, vegetation and sea-level change. The book describes for the first time the detailed evidence for changing environments at the western, or East Anglia, edge of the North Sea basin before the first local physical glaciation of Pleistocene age in the period 300,000 to one million years ago. The volume is of particualr relevance to studies of climate and environmental changes which are so important for our present civilisation. The work is composed of entirely new material published here for the first time. Black cloth boards with very slight discolouration to small areas and minor bumping to some corners. Some foxing spots around pocket at rear and on last couple of pages. Dust-jacket has rubbing to corners, top/bottom of spine and slight rubbing to edges of jacket flaps. A couple of small closed tears repaired inside with clear archival standard tape; jacket is in a loose protective cover. Very small and neat owner stamp to front free endpaper, otherwise contents nice and clean. A Very Good copy in a Very Good dust-jacket. Scarce. .
