Climate Change - A Multidisciplinary Approach (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): William James Burroughs Climate Change - A Multidisciplinary Approach (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
William James Burroughs
R2,721 Discovery Miles 27 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Providing a concise, up-to-date presentation of current knowledge of climate change and its implications for society as a whole, this new edition has been thoroughly updated and extended to include the latest information. The text describes the components of the global climate, considers how the many elements of climate combine to define its behaviour, and reviews how climate change is measured. The author discusses how the causes of climate change can be related to the evidence of change, and modelled to predict future changes. This book is ideally suited for introductory courses in meteorology, oceanography, environmental science, earth science, geography, agriculture and social science. It contains review questions at the end of each chapter to enable readers to monitor their understanding of the materials covered. This book should appeal to an audience with a keen interest in all aspects of the climate change debate.

Weather Cycles - Real or Imaginary? (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition): William James Burroughs Weather Cycles - Real or Imaginary? (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)
William James Burroughs
R6,053 Discovery Miles 60 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This completely updated edition explores in detail the unresolved debate on the existence of weather cycles. It provides a different perspective on one of the most difficult questions in the current global warming debate: how much of the recent temperature rise can be attributed to natural causes? The book examines the complex analysis required to assess the evidence for cycles with a minimum of mathematics. First Edition Hb (1992): 0-521-38178-9 First Edition Pb (1995): 0-521-47869-3

Does the Weather Really Matter? - The Social Implications of Climate Change (Hardcover, New): William James Burroughs Does the Weather Really Matter? - The Social Implications of Climate Change (Hardcover, New)
William James Burroughs
R2,554 Discovery Miles 25 540 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

We talk about it endlessly, write about it copiously, and predict it badly. It influences what we do, what we wear, and how we live. Weather--how does it really impact our lives? In this compelling look at weather, author Burroughs combines historical perspective and economic and political analysis to give the impact of weather and climate change relevance and weight. He examines whether the frequency of extreme events is changing and the consequences of these changes. He looks at the chaotic nature of the climate and how this unpredictability can impose serious limits on how we plan for the future. Finally, he poses the important question: what types of serious, even less predictable changes are around the corner? In balanced and accessible prose, Burroughs works these issues into lucid analysis. This refreshing and insightful look at the impact of weather will appeal to anyone who has ever worried about forgetting an umbrella. William James Burroughs is the author of Watching the World's Weather (CUP, 1991) and Weather Cycles: Real or Imaginary? (CUP, 1994).

Climate Change in Prehistory - The End of the Reign of Chaos (Paperback): William James Burroughs Climate Change in Prehistory - The End of the Reign of Chaos (Paperback)
William James Burroughs
R1,010 Discovery Miles 10 100 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

How did humankind deal with the extreme challenges of the last Ice Age? How have the relatively benign post-Ice Age conditions affected the evolution and spread of humanity across the globe? By setting our genetic history in the context of climate change during prehistory, the origin of many features of our modern world are identified and presented in this illuminating book. It reviews the aspects of our physiology and intellectual development that have been influenced by climatic factors, and how features of our lives - diet, language and the domestication of animals - are also the product of the climate in which we evolved. In short: climate change in prehistory has in many ways made us what we are today. Climate Change in Prehistory weaves together studies of the climate with anthropological, archaeological and historical studies, and will fascinate all those interested in the effects of climate on human development and history.
