`This book is a masterly compendium for those glaciologists seeking knowledge slightly outside their own specific fields of research.' Journal of Glaciology, 31 (1986)
`This is a timely, well-written, authoritative volume. I recommend it to those interested in claciology, tropical geomorphology, or climatology.' American Scientist (1986)
