Earth’s climate is changing. This book investigates the
scientific, environmental, social, political and economic aspects
of climate change. It enables students to reach an informed opinion
and encourages active engagement in finding solutions. It begins
with a strong introduction to the scientific factors that drive
natural and anthropogenic climate change and expands over three
chapters to explore the impact of greenhouse gases on the
distribution of solar energy across land, sea, ice and air. The
author examines geologically ancient climates in order to highlight
possible future scenarios and case studies from around the world
highlight the impact of climate change on the physical and human
environment. The final chapters investigate how society can respond
to the challenges of climate change and overcome the political,
social and economic factors that are barriers to progress, focusing
on the role of energy policy, fiscal policy and risk assessment as
a means to stimulate discussion about science, society and the role
of the media. Science is the foundation of any solution, but to
turn this knowledge into action requires the application of a broad
set of skills that are rooted in the liberal arts experience such
as critical thinking, analytical thinking, problem solving and
communication. This textbook will be an essential resource for
students taking courses in environmental geography, climate change,
natural hazards, climatology and meteorology.

Bible in Ten is for everyone who wants to be connected with all
that is unexpected, beautiful and astonishing in the Bible. It
tells the stories of success and failure, suffering and hope, home
and exile, and a love that is stronger than death. Here are 67
short, sharp snapshots covering every corner of a book that people
sometimes don’t know quite as well as they think they do. It’s
a way into a volume that is often on the shelves but far less
frequently taken off them. The Bible is packed with advice, stories
and promises that cry out to be heard. This book gives people a
real chance to take the words off the page and into their own
world.
