The Ice Age (Quaternary) highlights significant climate fluctuations that caused the formation and retreat of massive ice sheets, affecting diverse ecosystems worldwide, including tropical regions. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding tropical climate history, as both natural and human influences in these areas play a crucial role in shaping global climate. Despite its significance, there is a scarcity of palaeoclimate records from the tropics, making this exploration vital for comprehending historical climate dynamics.
