This volume presents results of a variety of case studies documenting the Late Palaeozoic climate changes and cyclicity of deposition. The collected papers cover many aspects related to palaeoen-vironmental analysis with sedimentological, stratigraphic, palaeobiological, geochemical, and pal-aeomagnetic studies of the fossil record around the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age and soon after. They span a stratigraphic interval from Carboniferous to PermianTriassic transition around the world. This book comprising results for a range of disciplines, is a valuable source for not only researchers who are actively working on specific aspects of the Late Palaeozoic and looking for an up-to-date reference on this inhospitable time in the Earths history. It is also of interest to climate modellers and the wider scientific community with an interest in the latest research on the decline of the Palaeozoic World.

Review:

The papers here range in topic from analyses of the characteristic sedimentary cycles, to palaeontological or isotopic patterns shown by various fossil groups.

These studies are consistently detailed, well-illustrated, closely described and discussed, and build up a mosaic of geological process and product in this phase of Earth history. ...a solid and worth-while compilation: both source-book and reference book that will be very useful and perhaps indispensable to those who are researching the many geological enigmas of the late Palaeozoic.
