From the reviews:
"Martin Beniston ... has compiled a book that could be called a primer on climate change issues with a regional focus on Switzerland. ... It is well written and understandable for the nonspecialist. ... the book can be fully recommended. This compact volume will be of help to everyone seeking an overview and guidance in regional climate change studies." (Jörg Matschullat, Environmental Geology, Vol. 50 (1), 2006)
