[Sierra Ramsey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very dense textbook that relies heavily on the reader's preexisting knowledge of geology, biology, chemistry, and ecology. However, when paired with an effective lecturer, it becomes easier to digest the information. Lowe and Walker are well-renowned in Quaternary science and this text sets the stage for the basis of paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Though at times it was challenging to read, this is an excellent textbook for understanding how environments are reconstructed with different proxies and why this is a significant field.
