This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Between one-third and one-half of the Earth's marine coastlines lie along or near tectonically
and seismically active plate boundaries (Inman and Nordstrom, 1971). Many of the world's …

Patterns of regional endemism, vicariance, and disjunction in New Zealand higher plants
