Description
Climate Change offers a unique interdisciplinary journey through this important, and equally fascinating, field. It takes the reader from keystones of the underlying science - and not just the headlines - through to the philosophical and political consequences of climate change. Taking into account latest scientific research and policy decisions, it blends earth science, biology, technology, economics, geography, politics, philosophy and ethics - together with other themes - to present a coherent, balanced overview of the field, with a particular eye towards one goal: the sustainability of our planet. The potential impact of climate change is vast; Climate Change is the ideal guide to developing the skills needed to take part in the debates that will shape our future. Key Features The first text to provide a truly balanced account of this important, interdisciplinary field. Written by two authors with complementary expertise, and a wealth of valuable experience, to yield an authoritative, well-rounded text. Activities, boxes and questions throughout encourage the reader to actively engage with the subject matter, helping them to develop the skills needed to be a part of our response to this global challenge. The Online Resource Centre features additional materials for both lecturers and students, enhancing the value of the text as a teaching and learning tool. New to this edition Updates the relevant science to take into account new information from the IPCC's recently published Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), Climate Change 2007. Discusses latest policy decisions and their implications. Provides more grounding in the basic scientific concepts on which an understanding of climate change, as a process, is built.
