Recensione:
'Climate change has influenced the origin and growth of early civilisations and will continue to do so. Grant Bigg's The Oceans and Climate introduces a multidisciplinary approach to this central problem affecting human wellbeing ... The book takes us through the planetary phenomena that affect global climate ... offers an excellent mathematical introduction to these complex issues, and should be read by students of oceanography, whatever their background.' David Nichols, New Scientist
'... well written and richly illustrated ... The book provides a reasonably priced, lucid, and not too technical, survey of the complex system called 'climate', with emphasis on the special role played by the world's oceans, but not neglecting other pieces in a multifaceted puzzle.' Elmar R. Reiter, Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics
'... this book is an extremely valuable reference book on an immensely important subject for many scientific disciplines.' Robin Wingfield, Journal of Quaternary Science
Descrizione del libro:
This comprehensive textbook examines the complex interaction between the oceans and climate by describing how physical, biological and chemical processes combine in the oceans to affect climatic change. An ideal course-book for undergraduates studying earth and environmental sciences, oceanography, meteorology and climatology.
