The well-produced volume is packed with documentation, tables, figures, equations, and commentary. ... The author offers clear, incisive assessments of models and policy responses to climate change. ... provides a wealth of factual data, economic relationships, and provocative ideas. It is the best available devil's advocate resource for advanced students, experts, and practitioners in the area of climate science and policy. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above." (F. T. Manheim, Choice, Vol. 50 (7), March, 2013)
