Clear and concise May 22, 2008
This text provides possibly one of the most up to date examinations of climate change from a scientific point of view, which is to be commended.
The book deals with the scientific methods for detecting climate changes, past climate changes, present changes, as well as the human ecology of climate change (this section in particular is dealt with in a manner often overlooked by other texts).
For an examination of the political implications of climate change at a governmental level in the modern period the section 'Sustainability and Policy' is particularly useful. The section on past climate changes are also very useful for all levels of study. The text raises several issues as to the manner in which climatic data is utilised by scientists and non-scientists alike in the modern period which should prove useful for students of the field who are often faced with a multitude of texts (often of a contradictory nature).
At all times the book encourages the reader to critically examine the masses of information available in the expanding field of climate change studies from multiple points of view. It does not attempt to simplify the issues into clear and concise explanation, which is one of the book's laudable aspects.
