A knowledge of how plants have responded to environmental change in the past is our principal source of evidence for predicting how they might respond to the new environments of the future and a knowledge of past climates may enable us to assess more clearly the human contribution to the climatic changes of the future.

Recenzje

I would use Plant Community History as a textbook in a course on Cenozoic vegetation history,... [a] welcome and important addition to the literature of natural history. - TREE; Tallis has made a thorough and far reaching analysis of a very extensive volume of literature to put this book togetherm but at the same time has integrated the history of the earth's vegetation in a scholarly yet readable manner. - Biologist; I shall certainly recommend this book to any undergraduates showing more than a passing interest in palaeonecology and, of course, to postgraduate students... - New Phytologist
