Review of the hardback: ' … a well-organized format that brings a
sense of real progress to a diverse series of subjects. This book
is going to be a classic reference.' Eugene W. Domack, EOS:
Transactions, American Geophysical Union
Review of the hardback: 'This is a fascinating and well-produced
volume … It is easily readable and refreshingly lacking in obscure
language. It deserves a place in any geological library.' A. J.
Sheehan, Open University Geological Society Journal
Review of the hardback: 'Although there are several useful accounts
of these topics, this is the first time that the subject has
received comprehensive treatment. The book, in fact, is more
wide-ranging than the title implies, and will thus be of value to
all earth scientists and others working in Antarctica. … this book
represents a dignificant achievement in drawing together a wide
range of disparate information. … the book is a valuable addition
to the literature. It will prove to be essential reading for all
Antarctic marine and glacial geologists, whilst students taking
advanced courses in glacial sedimentology will find much of
relevance.' Journal of Polar Record
