5.0 out of 5 stars
Climate change, extreme weather and adaptation,
This review is from: Climate, Change and Risk (Hardcover)
This book is one of the first, serious attempts to look at the implication of climate change for weather-related natural disasters and, particularly, how society would, could, and should react to that.
