"Big freeze" conditions, storms, severe flooding, droughts, and
heatwaves - recent extremes in weather, with their resultant
physical, economic and human losses, highlight the vulnerability of
society to changes in the atmosphere. Atmospheric pollution,
urbanization, natural atmospheric disasters are causing dramatic
changes in climatic environments. This study examines the effects
of climate on physical, biological and cultural environments.
Specialist contributors from Europe, North America and Australasia
examine the impacts of changing climates on the functioning and
development of physical biological environments including glaciers,
water resources, landforms, soils, vegetation and animals. Weather
and climate effects day-to-day activities and lifestyles from the
clothes we wear to the buildings we design, and the food and energy
we produce. This book focuses on the relationship between climate
and a wide range of human activities and responses relating to
health and comfort, building design, transport systems, agriculture
and fisheries, tourism and social, industrial and legal issues.
