Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Arnold Toynbee wrote that civilizations die from suicides, not murder.' Thus begins the argument of Micha Tomkiewicz's compelling new textbook on global climate change. This introduction to the earth's physical climate and the current human-induced challenges affecting it first explains the scientific basis for observed and expected changes in the earth's climate and then continues on to persuasively present the moral consequences of human action-and inaction-with regard to energy use and consumption.As the Foreword by Professor Geraldine DeLuca ably says, 'For while the science of climate change could be imprecise in some details and even slightly wrong in timing, it is clear that once we pass a critical point in the ability of the planet to adapt to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, the consequences amount to a global genocide-but a self-inflicted one.'Written to be a textbook for his own course-while reaching out to a much wider audience of general readers, Professor Tomkiewicz begins the first half of the book with a short, intense course on the physics and chemistry of climate. In it you will gain a working vocabulary of concepts and principles, including answers to such fundamental questions as:Ample illustrations and frequent dialogue boxes for further instruction will help make vivid the lessons you in learn the book's text.In the second half of the book, you will learn the technological and public policy paths available to us as we work toward more effective ways to deal with the predicted global climate changes ahead. You will learn about existing and proposed sources of alternative fuel and the costs involved in shi¿ing from fossil fuels and nuclear fission, with their attendant dangers, toward other forms of energy that are sustainable without adversely äecting the climate. And while some of these have yet to be developed, you will learn that the catastrophic consequences of our pursuit of more of the same sources of fuel will become harder to ignore. 322 pp. Englisch.…
