      • Reasons for recommending:
        This week's Nature has a high-resolution, absolute-dated record of the strength of the East Asian monsoon, authored by Wang et al. The record, taken from cave deposits, stretches back for 224,000 years, and may serve as a benchmark for correlating other climate records. Jonathan Overpeck and Julia Cole look at this article in a News & Views piece for Nature, which we've reprinted here: http://www.nature.com/climate/2008/0803/full/4511061a.html
