Climate and Human Change: Disaster or Opportunity?
Editorial Reviews
Review
The value of this text lies in the multi-disciplinarity of approach. Few texts approach it and even fewer acknowledge the power of perception over reality. For this reason alone it is a useful addition to the literature.
-- TEGNews
the author has managed to produce a text which is very easy to read and which contains very little by way of political rhetoric or green banner waving. This is a well-arranged and well-balanced handholding guide through the climatic social and economic dimensions of climatic change.
-- International Journal of Climatology, 2000
This book demonstrates the sheer complexity of many environmental issues both scientifically and politically. It will provide invaluable material for a host of tutorials and essays.
