Global Climate Change: Convergence of Disciplines

Global Climate Change: Convergence of Disciplines by Bloom, Arnold J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780878930272.

Mark Twains comment--everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it--no longer applies: human activities have altered the global climate, and governments are implementing policies to avoid more extreme perturbations. Global Climate Change examines the factors responsible for global climate change and the geophysical, biological, economic, legal, and cultural consequences of such changes. The book highlights the complexity of decision-making under uncertainty, contrasting the methods that various disciplines employ to evaluate past and future conditions. For Instructors (Available to Qualified Adopters) Available to qualified adopters of Global Climate Change, an Instructors Resource Library featuring all of the textbooks figures (art and photographs) and tables are provided in both JPEG (high- and low-resolution) and PowerPoint formats. All of the images have been formatted and optimized for excellent projection quality.
