The most thorough and comprehensive book available on climate change is about to hit the shops, and we have two copies to give away to two lucky readers.
Kristin Dow and Thomas E Downing’s ‘The Atlas of Climate Change: Mapping the World’s Greatest Challenge’ has been meticulously researched and assembled and leaves no stone unturned and is the perfect reference manual for environmentalists, students and anyone concerned about the future of our planet.
Containing detailed maps, graphs and tables as well as incisive commentary throughout, it tackles climate change topics one by one: polar changes, glacial retreat, the greenhouse effect, emissions past and present, fossil fuels, methane and other gases, transportation, agriculture, disrupted ecosystems, expected consequences are all covered, as are many more areas besides.
The atlas examines the possible impact of climate change on our ability to feed the world’s people, avoid water shortages, conserve biodiversity, improve health, and preserve cities and cultural treasures.
It also reviews historical contributions to greenhouse gas levels, progress in meeting Kyoto commitments and local efforts to meet the challenge of climate change.
