Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
There is general agreement among climatologists that global warming is underway. This book is a collection of articles that discusses the causes and effects of this phenomenon and offers some policy suggestions to respond to it. Most of the articles, written by experts and intended for policy makers and other nonscientists, were compiled from proceedings and reports from conferences, Congressional testimony, and other sources. The book's mixture of styles and its repetitiousness does not recommend it to the general reader; however, as a good, wide-ranging compilation of up-to-date, hard-to-get information on a topic of critical importance, it is recommended for academic and larger public libraries.
