Add to basketSecond printing hardcover inscribed on verso of half-title page: "For Burton & Ann, I hope this book gives you as much pleasure in the reading of it as it did me in the writing. May the climate [ ?] powers remain agreeably pleasant as we go through climate change. All the best, Thomas Levenson, Wellesley, 2/11/93." An early book about climate change. Levenson is now an award-winning professor of science writing at MIT. A very near fine book and jacket, and uncommon signed. From the Publisher's Weekly review: "Climate science goes far beyond weather forecasting; developed as an effort to understand how planet-shaping forces interact, it produces a coherent picture of global processes that run from the begining of time to the present. Levenson, associate producer of the TV series Nova , introduces the new work of physicists, oceanographers, geologists, meteorologists and atmospheric scientists plus their sophisticated use of computers and satellites that has converged to revolutionize our knowledge of climate. Reviewing major climatic events of the past (hurricanes, droughts, El Nino), he examines the interaction between climate and society and discusses possible changes in the future due to acid rain, the greenhouse effect and nuclear winter. It's an intriguing subject, sure to attract weather-watchers, conservationists and computer buffs." Please inquire for photos. We invite you to explore our dedicated, growing collection of signed and inscribed climate change books.
