First published between 1966 and 1988, the four volumes in this
collection demonstrate the immense breadth and depth of work on
climate change by the pioneering English climatologist Hubert Lamb.
Detailing everything from the fundamentals of climate and
climatology, as well as a history of climatic change from the
ice-age to the second half of the twentieth century, through to a
consideration of how future climatic trends should be approached,
this is a very comprehensive and laudable collection. As one of the
first scientists to suggest that climate could change within human
experience, and the founder of the ground-breaking Climatic
Research Centre at the University of East Anglia, it is hard to
overestimate the impact of Professor Lamb's work in establishing
the study of climate change as a serious research subject and in
developing our understanding of how and why climate change occurs.
At a time when climate change and the environment are considered
amongst the most important issues facing mankind and its future,
this reissue serves as both a timely reminder that this was not
always the case and a very welcome acknowledgement of the work of a
truly path-breaking scientist.
