Review
"The book is generally well-written, and the subject has an appeal that extends beyond scientific curiosity. The insightful use of deductive logic to infer past events and circumstances . . . has a certain appeal... There is more than enough information in this book to form the basis of a good course on the subject matter."-Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin
