Specialist contributors from Europe, North America and Australasia

development of physical biological environments including glaciers,
water resources, landforms, soils, vegetation and animals. Weather

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.
