Climate Change
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.

It is also a valuable reference text for those involved in environmental monitoring, conservation and policy making.
