Editorial Reviews
Review
"An important survey of an emerging science and as such has the potential to act as a stimulus to renewed and refocused research for years to come." -- Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers
"The editors should be congratulated on the way in which they have undertaken their task, as the book is comprehensive, wide-ranging and well-organised. On the whole, it achieves its aims..... The book is an impressive volume.... indispensable." -- The Holocene
Book Description
This book charts the environmental transformation of Scotland from the end of the ice age in an empty land 10,000 years ago to the Viking invasions of an established society 9,000 years later. The book brings together environmental, ecological, historical, geological, and archaeological approaches to show how changing
climatic conditions and a sequence of cultural impacts shaped the succession of Scottish landscapes that has led to its present unique, beautiful, fleeting forms and variety.
