    Book 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.

    Reviews

    ‘… a recommended read for the informed layman and student seeking a wider background in this topical but complex field.’

    Grant Bigg Source: Weather

    ‘The book is well written, contains practically no mathematics and yet manages to explain, in a clear and attractive style, the subtleties of the subject … I recommend it to everybody interested in the climate of our earth.’

    Michael Hantel Source: Meteoroligsche Zeitschrift

    ‘… the book enthusiastically achieves its aims of not oversimplifying but explaining the complexities of what is well established and unknown about the climate system for a wider audience …’.
