The second edition of this acclaimed text has been fully updated and
substantially expanded to include the considerable developments (since
publication of the first edition) in our understanding of the science
of climate change, its impacts on biological and human systems, and
developments in climate policy. Written in an accessible style, it
provides a broad review of past, present and likely future climate
change from the viewpoints of biology, ecology, human ecology and
Earth system science. It will again prove to be invaluable to a wide
range of readers, from students in the life sciences who need a brief
overview of the basics of climate science, to atmospheric science,
geography, geoscience and environmental science students who need to
understand the biological and human ecological implications of climate
change. It is also a valuable reference text for those involved in
environmental monitoring, conservation and policy making.
