دانلود کتاب The Ice Age

Reviews
Quaternary research is in teaching and research the main focus of the Chair of Geomorphology in Bayreuth. Students have often asked me if I could recommend a book that summarizes this very complex field. The very comprehensive work "The Pleistocene" by T. Nilsson is outdated and no longer up to date. Finally, there is now again a lavish and modernly designed book in German, which can be highly recommended to students as well as other geoscientists and interested laymen. The work is very up to date, equipped with numerous color pictures and illustrations, reads well and, above all, reveals the author's anchoring on the international research front. Of course, some Quaternary researchers may wish for more details from special areas of Quaternary research at one point or another. But then the work, which is already extensive in content and pages, would become too voluminous to be useful as an introduction for a broad audience. The work fills a large gap in the scientific book market. It is to be hoped that the book will be widely distributed and that the documented modern state of knowledge can be further maintained in subsequent years through updated new editions.

Long overdue: A German-language work on the Ice Age, written in a clear, understandable and entertaining way and richly illustrated, taking into account the most important literature of the last 200 years. A treasure trove of data for students and experts. Prof. Dr. Klaus Heine, University of Regensburg



A very good book, which shines besides the content qualities also by the excellent illustrations, maps and also striking photos. It is also very good that also non-European glaciation areas are presented and analyzed exemplarily. The effect and shaping of the ice is vividly and memorably presented: this is especially true for the glacial morphological small and micro forms. Through the use of satellite images, the glacially shaped landscapes are impressively presented and explained. Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Fuchs, University of Mainz
