Index. Since life began on earth changes in the global climate have affected the distribution of organisms as well as their interactions. However human induced increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are causing much more rapid changes in the earth's climate than have been experienced for millennia. Evidence of global warming is plentiful and includes data on satellite measured sea level change lengthened growing season and increased precipitation intensities resulting in increased flood risk during winter in the northern hemisphere. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. This book is a highly informative source on global warming and climate change issues that are perhaps the greatest threat to this planet. It describes the process of global climate change its current and future impacts on human health and how our societies can lessen those adverse impacts via adaptation strategies and by reducing green house gas emissions. It will be a valuable reference tool for environmental scientists activists and scholars in the field. 274 pp.

Bibliography. Index. Biodiversity is the variety of life the different plants animals and micro organisms their genes and the ecosystems of which they are a part. It constitutes the most important working component of a natural ecosystem. Biodiversity helps maintain ecological processes creates soils recycles nutrients has moderating effect on the climate degrades waste controls diseases and above all provides an index of health of an ecosystem. The rich biodiversity of the world however has been under serious threat from a variety of human induced factors which can be measured by a reduction in the natural habitat loss of species and depletion of genetic diversity. Indicators of this change however are not easy to define since only a limited number of species have been identified and catalogued to date nevertheless the impact is serious. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the changing status of the world's biological diversity. It provides general information on the nature and scope of biological diversity and broad trends at genetic species and ecosystem level. It also covers a wide range of issues such as the causes and consequences of biodiversity erosion the strategies of biodiversity conservation the global biodiversity convention and its impacts. Being an all encompassing presentation on biodiversity the book is destined to become a highly useful reference tool for academicians researchers scientists administrators and ecoplanners. 288 pp.
