The theory of, and evidence for, climate change forms a central role in the text along with how weather and climate impacts on environment and society. Examining the issues as a continuum, the authors present an argument that is both highly topical and contextualised for students and academics alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introductory examination of the major components of the climate system including coverage of the impact of mass and energy on wind motion, atmosphere\/ocean interactions, synoptic weather systems, local and urban climates, air pollution episodes, ice cores and ice ages, global warming and climate extremes including drought, storm and flood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA detailed analysis of how future weather and climates can be modelled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn investigation of climate and climate change within a regional framework and through the examination of the climate of high, middle and low latitudes.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies which illustrate and synthesise the main themes within the text. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA chapter on 'Climate-human adjustment' which draws on case studies from both the developed and the developing world to explore critical issues such as the varying adaptive capacity, vulnerability and risk of regions and societies to extreme weather events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLatest scientific developments which are integrated in context throughout the text. \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeather, Climate and Climate Change \"will be essential reading to students, academics and professionals in the fields of climate, meteorology and global climate change and of broader interest to those in physical geography and environmental studies\/science in general.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreg O'Hare is Professor of Geography at the University of Derby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Sweeney is Senior Lecturer in Geography at National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRob Wilby is the Climate Change Science Manager at the Environment Agency, having taken leave of absence from the Department of Geography, King's College London. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 444\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.6 x 7.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 07, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724685414463,"sku":"9780130283191","price":171.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/8ccee442c2ca6596b35fe2a6334cedfc.webp?v=1765103545","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/weather-climate-and-climate-change-human-perspectives-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
