About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“For those interested in the Asian monsoon region, this will be essential reading, and indeed, it provides an important resource for the palaeoclimate community as a whole. … this is an invaluable resource for palaeoclimatologists, with more than 90 pages of references. … the book provides an up-to-date summary of research in China and adjacent regions and demonstrates the significance of changes in that region for the broader earth system.” (Raymond S. Bradley, The Holocene, Vol. 25 (2), 2015)
