Moravia in the Ice Age. The last glacial environment and methods of its exploration
Rudolf Musil

Few countries can boast such a rich history of Quaternary research, especially findings of fauna, flora and the then men like Moravia. It is mainly due to its location on a natural connection between north and south Europe. Therefore Moravia served throughout the Quaternary for seasonal and global movements of vegetation and animals. While now you can go through the valleys of Moravian Karst on asphalt roads, not so long ago there were only narrow winding forest roads, where in some places two horse-drawn carriages barely avoided. And what was there before? This book aspires to find the answer. We want to show how exciting paleontological work is, what nowadays new fields of knowledge are, of what exactly quaternary studies consist and what are the previously unknown issues that should be addressed in the future.
