Beschreibung

"Compelling and comprehensive coverage of the science underpinning our understanding of our climate, and how it is changing. The text is accessible to undergraduate students, requiring only a basic understanding of algebra and physical science. Starting from the basics, it incorporates the latest results from the IPCC 6th Assessment Report"--
