Very good condition.
The discoveries of recent years have revolutionized the study of the Quarternary Period. To the student these merely compound an already bewildering situation. The volume of often seemingly contradictory literature continues to grow, and its terminology to multiply. This book attempts to clarify the issues. The basis of existing classsical models is critically examined. The data on which the new stratigraphic framework relies is considered. The subject is placed in perspective overview, with the stratigraphic framework extended by selective correlation. Green cardwraps. B/w charts. xi and 221 pages including index. ISBN: 0080204090. Light creasing to front cover. Slight page browning.
