Читать книгу The Atlas of Climate Change - Professor Kirstin Dow - Страница 1

“Concise in expression, with handsome cartography and a text that sticks to the facts, it elucidates the key issues surrounding global climate change.” Kirkus Review “Seeing that climate change is probably the biggest single problem facing our world today, it’s natural that you might want to find out more. You could wade through dense, dry academic detail from the IPCC. Or you could root out the newly published Atlas of Climate Change, which condenses key findings from the scientists and is packed with facts, graphs, and maps explaining how climate change is affecting the planet.” Guardian “This is a remarkable piece of work and extremely readable. What is heartening is not only the wealth of information it conveys but also the powerful illustrations and graphics.” Director-General, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) “This pioneering atlas will become an essential point of reference for anyone looking for a quick and accurate overview of this multidisciplinary subject.” Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK “An excellent book and wonderful tool to help clarify the mountains of data into something comprehensible. If you want to get up to speed on the subject, this is probably the best place to start. Highly recommended.” Transition Culture “An excellent vehicle for beginning to understand the climate change issue.” Forestry Chronicle, Canada “Packs a lot of very high quality information into a small space with an excellent layout. A hit with students and essential for every library shelf – one of the best buys of the year.” Ecological and Environmental Education “If you want to understand the evidence, causes, and consequences of climate change, as well as what we can do to deal with it, get your copy today.” CarbonSense “A succinct, yet exacting new resource that will be vital for many years to come.” Oxford University Centre for the Environment “This vast mine of information takes a wider than usual view of the implications of climate change. It is a valuable resource to help understand the core issues and puts into perspective the desperate unfairness of the global picture.” Morning Star “All schools and colleges should complement their environment studies with this atlas.” Education Journal
