Cambrige, Jerusalem: Cambrige University Press, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2003. — 127 p. It is now widely accepted that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are affecting the Earth’s radiation balance, resulting in higher global atmospheric temperatures. However, there is still a great deal of uncertainty about the likely effects of such a...

The Holocene provides students, researchers and lay-readers with the remarkable story of how the natural world has been transformed since the end of the last Ice Age around 15,000 years ago. This period has witnessed a shift from environmental changes determined by natural...
New York: W. H. Freeman and Company, 2008. — 388 p. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective by one of the field’s preeminent researcher/instructors, Earth’s Climate: Past and Future became a classroom favorite by providing an expert summary of climate change past, present, and future. The text worked equally well as either a nonmajors introduction to Earth system science...

NCPA ([US] National Center for Policy Analysis) Policy Report No.279. September 2005, ISBN #1-56808-149-9, 29 p. Executive Summary The Earth currently is experiencing a warming trend, but there is scientific evidence that human activities have little to do with it. Instead, the warming seems to be part of a 1,500-year cycle (plus or minus 500 years) of moderate temperature...
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1968. — 73 p. This book - a seminal study in its fields - provides a simple yet eloquent introduction to the discipline, explaining what a dendrochronologist does both in the field and in the laboratory. Authors first explain the basic principles of tree-ring dating, then describe details of the process, step by step, from the time a sample...
Chennai: Wiley-Blackwell, 2015. — 416 p. — ISBN: 1118897390. To understand climate change today, we first need to know how Earth s climate changed over the past 450 million years. Finding answers depends upon contributions from a wide range of sciences, not just the rock record uncovered by geologists. In Earth s Climate Evolution, Colin Summerhayes analyzes reports and records...
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999. — 140 p. Water is going to be one of the key, if not the most critical, environmental issues in the twenty-first century because of the escalation in socio-economic pressures on the environment in general. Any future climate change or climate variability will only accentuate such pressures. This volume initially follows the...
Oxford University Press,2012. — 324 p. — ISBN: 0199593574, 0199683506 Climate change is a major topic of concern today, scientifically, socially, and politically. It will undoubtedly continue to be so for the foreseeable future, as predicted changes in global temperatures, rainfall, and sea level take place, and as human society adapts to these changes. In this remarkable new...
