From the reviews of the second edition: "This second edition of Climate Change: Environment and History of the Near East deserves recognition by scientists working on a number of water problems in the area. The authors ... are convinced that conservative negative attitudes are slowly changing, mostly due to the ever increasing quantity and quality of scientific research of the Earth's past mainly by geologists, geochemists, botanists, climatologists, etc. ... The book is intended for environmental hydrogeologists, climatologists, scientists, and geochemists." (Phillip E. LaMoreaux, Environmental Geology, Vol. 54 (4), 2008)
