From this volume, a picture emerges of the complex glacial history of the area. These 13 papers deal with the timing and models for the late Wisconsin deglaciation of New England and adjacent Quebec—regional stratigraphy, saprolites, reconstruction of portions of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, changing models of deglaciation, and environments available for human occupation in late-glacial time. The ideas presented here concerning the existence or nonexistence of local glaciers are much better documented than in the early works because of better access to the disputed areas. A collection of papers of outstanding diversity and style, many representing efforts and experiences that span a generation. One can learn history and methods alike from this book.
