From: PO4::"QUATERNARY@MORGAN.UCS.MUN.CA" "Research in Quaternary Science" 26-APR-1996 14:57:44.13 To: Multiple recipients of list QUATERNARY CC: Subj: please post Dear list readers, Last semester I sent out a query for information on texts used in undergraduate Glacial and Pleistocene geology courses. Many of you were kind enought o reply and I said I would post a comiplation of the results. The basis for the list comes from John Mckiness (JMCKINES@LEGACY.CALVIN.EDU) of Calvin College who sent out a similar plea over GEOMORPHLIST. I have added books not on his origina compilation. I have omitted supplementary reading suggestions. The number in parenthesis before each entry is the number of respondents who recommend the book. I am posting the list the Quaternary listserve and thank all those who took time to respond to me. (2) Anderson, B.G. and Borns, H.W. 1994. The Ice Age World: An Introduction to Quaternary Geology.

However, two books that I would recommend you look at are Quaternary Paleoclimatology: Methods of Paleoclimatic reconstruction by R.S. Bradley (Unwin Hyman Publishers) and Paleoclimatology by T.J.Crowley and G.R. North (Oxford University Press). Not so much because you may want to use them (although you might), but because the both contain exhaustive reference sections that do contain a lot of such source materials. Bradley was at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) and Crowley and North were at Texas A&M University at the time these books were published. Also, I would suggest that you contact Scott Snow at Ball State University. I know that he teaches a class on Quaternary Geomorphology and may have some information on texts that would be useful to you. His internet address is: 00rssnow@leo.bsuvc.bsu.edu Good Luck! Let me know what you find out. I would be interested in knowing what texts are presently out there. --bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bruce E.

I taught a Quat Environments course last spring and as a main text, used Quaternary Environments. 1993. M.A.J. Williams, D.L. Dunkerley, P. De Deckker, A.P. Kershaw, and T.J. Stokes. The publisher is Edward Arnold, a division of Hodder and Stoughton Limited, Mill Road, Dunton Green, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 2YA by Butler & Tanner Ltd, Frome, Somerest. - its distributed in the US by Routledge, Chapman and Hall, Inc. 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001. ISBN #0-7131-6590-1 I found it very good - more like an actual conporehensive integrated "textbook" than some other suggestions - and I liked that the examples are relatively global in scope (the authors are from Australia). I also used Methods in Quaternary Ecology. B. G. Warner, ed. 1990. Geoscience Canada Reprint Series 5, ISBN 0-919216-42-0. GAC Publications, Dept. of Earth Sciences, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland A1B 3X5 After The Ice Age: The Return of Life to Glaciated North America. E.C. Pielou. 1991.

For your information, I am currently working on a fully revised 2nd edition of this book, to include additional topics, and more on the Quaternary record...I hope to get this wrapped up by the end of the year for a new edition to be published (by Chapman & Hall) in 1996.
