About this title

Synopsis

Discusses the problems - the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, acid rain, nuclear winter and drought - and places them in their common context of climatolgy. So underlining the global rather than the individual importance of these problems. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students in climatology, geography and environmental science.

Review

"It offers students possessing little or no prior experience with environmental science a clear, logically ordered overview of "both societal and environmental components of issues" in an "integrated approach." Thus updated version includes expanded material, additional figures and maps, and a new section on atmospheric modeling.... a worthwhile addition to any basic environmental issues course, or as a core reference volume for upper division environmental policy, social ecology, atmospherioc physics, or climatology courses. Kemp's direct style and precise explanations make this book an important contribution to the existing pool of environmental texts.."
-"The Professional Geographer
