Climatic Changes Since 1700

“Brönnimann … provides a synthesis of the climate of the last three centuries based on state-of-the-art climate data and analyses. … No other book has so comprehensively described the climate of this period using such a breadth of data sources and analysis tools. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (J. Schoof, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)“I found this to be a rewarding and very interesting book. … this is an excellent and informative book, well-written and presented. I would strongly recommend it for anyone studying, researching or merely interested in climate and climate changes over the past millennium or so. It also attempts to place climate research into a historical perspective, which is both useful and interesting.” (Giles Young, The Holocene, Vol. 26 (9), 2016)
