vi 589 pages, including index. The edges of the boardsare lightly bumped and the first 15 pages very lightly creased, else a clean, unmarked and solid copy. Overseas customers please note the book is heavy and will attract additional postage. "This book unites climate modelling, palaeoceanography and palaeontology to address fundamental events in the climate history of Earth over the past 600 million years. Understanding the `tipping points' that have led to rapid changes in the Earth's climate is vitally important with the realization that humans modify global climate." WILLIAMS, M., HAYWOOD, A.
