Reviews

W. Peter Adams:
Geographers of all stripes would do well to read this clearly written, informed, and sensitive piece. MacKay's consistently scholarly approach to pure and applied aspects of this important and extremely complex aspect of the earth sciences is an example and inspiration to us all.

Peter Worsley:
Overall this is a most welcome addition to the geocryological literature and one which is likely to have given Ross MacKay particular pleasure.

Barbara A. Kennedy, University of Oxford:
Field and theory is a thought-provoking attempt to set J. Ross MacKay's contribution to the understanding of permafrost processes and forms in the broadest international framework. It should leave most readers lost in admiration.
