Items related to Global Environmental Issues: A Climatological Approach
Synopsis
The amount of material published on environmental issues continues to grow, comprised of broad generalizations aimed at non-specialists in the field. This edition of Global Environmental Issues fills the gap between technical literature and general articles for popular reading.The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, drought and acid rain—those which raise the greatest concern, and emphasizes both their societal and environmental components. While the book is grounded in a sound scientific base, it presents the work in as non-technical manner as possible. The unifying theme is the climatological aspect, and this unique approach is continued in this revised edition.While the main theme is climatological, the contributions of socio-economic, political and cultural elements to these issues are also examined and held in account. Global Environmental Issues is a valuable edition of a unique and accessible work on a topic of worldwide concern.

Review
"It offers students possessing little or no prior experience with environmental science a clear, logically ordered overview of "both societal and environmental components of issues" in an "integrated approach." Thus updated version includes expanded material, additional figures and maps, and a new section on atmospheric modeling.... a worthwhile addition to any basic environmental issues course, or as a core reference volume for upper division environmental policy, social ecology, atmospherioc physics, or climatology courses. Kemp's direct style and precise explanations make this book an important contribution to the existing pool of environmental texts.."
