In this acclaimed textbook, John Houghton provides a comprehensive and concise description of the physical processes governing the structure and the circulation of the atmosphere. Completely revised and updated, the third edition contains much new and expanded material. New chapters have been introduced on topics of strong contemporary interest such as Chaos and Predictability and Climate Change. The chapters on global observations (especially through remote sensing) and numerical modeling have also been substantially extended. Like its predecessors, which received excellent reviews, this new edition will be an essential textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in meteorology, atmospheric physics, remote sensing, climate science, environmental science, and planetary science. Researchers and professionals in atmospheric physics and meteorology will also find it an excellent and up-to-date review of their subject.

How much of global warming is due to human activities? How far will it be possible to adapt to changes of climate? Sir John Houghton's definitive, full colour guide to climate change answers these questions and more by providing the best and latest information available, including the latest IPCC findings. The simple, logical flow of ideas gives an invaluable grounding in the science, as well as the physical and human impacts of climate change, for undergraduate students across a wide range of disciplines. Accessible to both scientists and non-scientists, the text avoids mathematical equations and includes more technical material in boxes, while simple figures help students to understand the conclusions the science leads to without being overwhelmed by vast amounts of data. Questions for students to consider and test their understanding are included in each chapter, along with carefully selected further reading to expand their knowledge.

Through a close look at major British cities, using Birmingham as a case study, the book explores the origins of Britain's acute urban decline and sprawling exodus; the reasons why 'one size doesn't fit all' in cities of the future and the potential for smart growth, mixed communities and sustainable cities. Based on live examples and hands-on experience, this extremely accessible book offers a unique 'insider' perspective on policy making and practical impacts. It will attract policymakers in cities and government as well as students, regeneration bodies, community organisations and environmental specialists.

In der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft herrscht Einigkeit darüber, daß sich die Erde erwärmt. Erbittert wird aber über das Ausmaß gestritten. Dieses Buch ist geeignet, die Debatte zu versachlichen und zu beleben. Der Autor beschreibt die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse und die sich daraus ergebenden möglichen Folgen für das Erdklima. Die klare und ausgewogene Darstellung wird durch zahlreiche informative Karten und Graphiken unterstützt. Der Leser wird angeregt, über Fragen nachzudenken, die im Mittelpunkt der Umweltdiskussion stehen: Können wir unseren Lebensstil beibehalten? Welche Welt werden wir unseren Kindern hinterlassen? Sind wir fähig, von einem reinen Konsumverhalten zu einer schonenden Nutzung der Rohstoffe überzugehen?
