Editorial Review Product Description Climate Change Biology is a new textbook which examines this emerging discipline of human-induced climate change and the resulting shifts in the distributions of species and the timing of biological events. The text focuses on understanding the impacts of human-induced climate change, but draws on multiple lines of evidence, including paleoecology, modelling and current observation. Climate Change Biology lays out the scope and depth of understanding of this new discipline in terms that are accessible to students, managers and professional biologists. This textbook features: |

Great British Author
Family secrets
We Know These People Mantel's characters are muddlers. They muddle through life with good intentions, but feel displaced and unsatisfied. Yet you care for them, and say to yourself, "I know these people!" There are many robust characters [Ralph and Anna, missionaries in Africa; their children, searching for their place in the world; Ralph's sister Emma] and threads interwoven through the basic story. The main characters are Ralph and Anna, missionaries who go to Africa to "do good". Evil events there haunt their lives when they return to England. The novel is written as an "entertaining read", in a page-turning style -- you are interested in the characters and events. Yet it is a substantial work, addressing important themes: good versus evil, do our choices make a difference, the cost of cultural misunderrstandings, the loss of faith, how any sense of security is an illusion. While entertaining, Mantel is not afraid of the artist's obligation to tell us unpalatable truths about ourselves. My one complaint is that the ending was too predictable; I felt that the novel was "wrapped up", rather than allowed to find its own ending.
British Sensibilities
This thoughtful family saga evokes a climate for change. Working as a lay person at a mission and vigorously opposingapartheid, Ralph and Anna eventually areimprisoned, then banished to Bechuanaland,now Botswana. It is here that the savagery which creates apermanent and terrible climate in their marriage occurs, asavagery not limited to one race as Ralph andAnna had perceived in South Africa. As the story bouncesfrom the present in England back twenty years to Africa, thereader lives through the vivid and terribleAfrican experiences and simultaneously sees how they havepermeated the lives of these good, but often naïve, people.Both Ralph and Anna have rejected thetraditional religion of their parents in favor of doing good deeds intheir family lives and through a social servicetrust. But as Ralph's uncle James points out,"There is nothing so appallingly hard...as the business of beinghuman." While the reader cheers asJames grows and eventually embraces life, s/he alsofears for Anna, who remains emotionally closed, despite her gooddeeds, fearful that she "should loseeverything, one of these days." As the events resolvethemselves and the "competition in goodness" comesto an end, we see real humans trying to putaside the petrified past and to change the climate of their lives, and wewill, perhaps, evaluate our own lives.Can weaccept change, or are we dinosaurs at heart? ...

Editorial Review Product Description Land has long been overlooked in economics. That is now changing. A substantial part of the solution to the climate crisis may lie in growing crops for fuel and using trees for storing carbon. This book investigates the potential of these options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, estimates the costs to the economy, and analyses the trade-offs with growing food. The first part presents new databases that are necessary to underpin policy-relevant research in the field of climate change while describing and critically assessing the underlying data, the methodologies used, and the first applications. Together, the new data and the extended models allow for a thorough and comprehensive analysis of a land use and climate policy. This book outlines key empirical and analytical issues associated with modelling land use and land use change in the context of global climate change policy. It places special emphasis on the economy-wide competition for land and other resources, especially; By offering synthesis and evaluation of a variety of different approaches to this challenging field of research, this book will serve as a key reference for future work in the economic analysis of land use and climate change policy. |
