Global Warming

by Gary J. Weisel
978-0-31334-522-7.
COPY ISBN
Gr 10 Up—Black and Weisel discuss climate processes, Earth's geology, past climates and how scientists determine if the Earth is warming, modern industry and its impact on the environment, national and international responses to global warming, the Kyoto Protocol, and more. The epilogue summarizes the authors' hope that the public, business sectors, and government are becoming more environmentally aware and ready to act with regard to global warming. Each of the six chapters begins with an overview and contains many quotes and references. The science sections will be arduous reading for some, as will be the vocabulary. This volume will be most useful to advanced students, especially those in AP or IB programs.—Patricia Ann Owens, Illinois Eastern Community Colleges
