Beskrivning
Stemming from a major international essay competition on regional responses to global climate change, this book covers developed and underdeveloped countries alike. It provides valuable background information for policy makers, businesses, and industry. Divided into three parts, the contents focus firstly upon the concept of a regional approach to climate change and the methods best suited to studying its impacts. The second part illustrates the variety of impacts that regions will experience as a result of climatic change and the third describes policies designed to deal with climate change.

"The emphasis is on impact at the regional level and the response strategies available to a region in coping with global warming effects. . . . one of the three the best and most up-to-date works in global warming. . . . valuable additions to any collection serving specialists in meteorology or environmental studies." --Choice"Disjointedness . . . is not a problem here. The editors evidently made an effort to unify . . . greatly enhancing the cohesiveness of the total work. . . . present a diverse set of perspectives on the global change issues. The essays are simultaneously scholarly and of uniformly high readability and should be understandable to a general college-level audience. . . . a superb resource or text. The book also is an excellent reference for generalists (e.g.government officials) who need to become familiar with this multifaceted issue." --Soil Science"Its strength is that the essays represent a wide diversity of methods, approaches, and thinking, which all attempt to analyze the response to climate change in current regional management and planning situations....An important contribution to the social science of climate change and it clearly demonstrates that there is further room for exciting analytical work that integrates the biological, physical, and human aspects of global warming." --Environmentand Planning A, UK
