'The book is an excellent compilation of modern views not only on European but on global climate - past, present and future. The texts of the several chapters are clearly presented and well illustrated by tables and graphs. Although prepared in final form in 1982 and published in 1984, the book is still up to date and is recommended as the best recent treatment of the subject.' Earth-Science Reviews, 24 (1987) 'It is an essential work for libraries and most researchers interested in climatic variations will want to have their own copy.' Arctic and Alpine Research, 17 (1985)
