520 3# ‡aPopular account, with supplementary 'technical features' throughout, of Mayewski's involvement in US National Science Foundation's Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two (GISP2) to recover 'longest environmental record...ever obtained from an ice core...and the longest such record possible from the northern hemisphere'. Also documents expeditions to Antarctica, high mountains of Asia and across Greenland. Reviews modern understanding of climate change. Describes project background and planning, and drilling and recovery of ice core. Discusses climate reconstruction from ice core evidence and presents dramatic findings demonstrating rapidity and complexity of climate change. Puts these in socio-political context by examining relationship between human social development and climate, particularly over last thousand years, and addresses political questions arising.
