In this thought-provoking title, environmental science expert and
professor Frank R. Spellman, PhD, gives a clear-eyed and concise
overview of climate change-explaining what is really happening to our
planet, why it is happening, and what can be done about it. Emphasizing
scientific data and climate change indicators, Spellman gives a sober
(but not panicked) assessment of the problems(natural and human-made) we
face and looks at possible mitigating factors and solutions.
Understanding Climate Change: A Practical Guide is an invaluable
resource to the student, policy maker, and others facing this crisis. An
extensive glossary demystifies much of the jargon employed in the public
arena.
