About this product
Product Information
This up-to-date and comprehensive guide is a clear yet multi-faceted telling of the most pressing issue facing the planet and its people: climate change. It interprets scientific research and acknowledges political debate; it describes the climate's evolution and what models tell us about its future; and it presents current reality and actions we can take to ensure the best possible outcomes. From the greenhouse effect to floods and droughts, from oceans and storms to ecosystems to agriculture, this is the long view on the most important story of our time. Author Robert Henson is an experienced science writer who bases the symptoms, science, debates, and solutions of climate change in hard facts and the latest research; he is no denier, and The AMS Guide to Climate Change , while fair and measured, pulls no punches.

Reviews
The Thinking Person's Guide to Climate Change . . . is aimed at the general public more than the specialist. In spite of this, it is still worthy reading for professionals working in ecology, meteorology, geology, or any segment of the environmental sciences. . . . It covers most of the issues related to the topic, from geophysics to soil microbiology and through phenological changes to the impact of global warming on human life and possible political as well as technological solutions. Moreover, it does all this in such a clear and logical style, simplifying the most complex processes through a series of examples and short explanations. . . . Vivid. . . . The book does not stop with understanding, it also emphasizes the responsibility everyone has to control emissions of greenhouse gases and provides actions everyday people can take to combat climate change. . . . I wish this book were on the shelves of bookstores all around the world, translated to most languages, because this would enable the huge family of interested readers to get detailed insight into the problems climate change causes and to get involved in the battle against climate change., If you're bewildered by the complexity of the climate change/global warming issue, and want a comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide that presents an unbiased view of the important issues, look no further than Henson's The Thinking Person's Guide to Climate Change . . . . Henson is probably the world's premier science writer in meteorology and climate change., Henson has written a complete and powerful climate change science book, updating and expanding upon his The Rough Guide to Climate Change .

Questions:
Why has my version a different, older cover than the one shown in your website? And why does my version have only 424 pages instead of the expected 440 pages?
It would possibly appear that 16 pages of revisions may not be in my copy. Or maybe some other section or chapter??
