Keywords:
Prior to a holistic characterization of the UK's East Midlands (covering its physical context, economy, social conditions, and natural environment), Shackley (U. of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Climate Change Research) introduces factors in climate change, and progress in this regard at the international and UK national levels. A study commissioned by a regional sustainable development group addresses area climate changes, their potential adverse effects, and opportunities to institute favorable changes in terms of energy conservation; income from clean, renewable energy technologies; and healthier lifestyles. The study's findings were presented at a 2000 conference. Includes numerous supporting figures and tables. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Recenzijas

Much work was put into the preparation of this book, and its inclusive approach, built on increasing knowledge of interdisciplinary science, contrasts with the shallower approach of some glossier publications. It is a valuable addition to the climatologist's library, focusing as it does on the practical mesoscale effects of anthropogenic and environmental changes. Weather 'The presentation is clear, including the working hypotheses, making the conclusion nicely convincing...A good sociological analysis.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution
