Climate Change : A Multidisciplinary Approach Hardback
by William James Burroughs
Hardback
Description
Climate Change: a Multidisciplinary Approach provides an up-to-date, concise and comprehensive presentation of our current knowledge of climate change and its implications for society.
The book begins by giving a balanced coverage of the physical principles of the global climate, its behaviour on all timescales, and the evidence for and consequences of past change.
It then reviews how we measure climate change and the statistical methods for analysing data, before exploring its causes and how we can model this behaviour.
The final sections discuss predictions of future climate change and the economic and political debate surrounding its prevention and mitigation.
This is a valuable undergraduate textbook for a wide range of courses, including meteorology, oceanography, environmental science, earth science, geography, history, agriculture and social science.
It will also appeal to a wider general audience of readers in search of a better understanding of climate change.
