Introduction to Energy and Climate

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book points the way to solving climate change, not it a naive way, but recognising it is a multi-faceted problem framed within many other environmental and societal issues. It is a great read and holds the readers hand through the complexity, encouraging us to make up our own minds."
- Piers Forster, University of Leeds, England

"Introduction to Energy and Climate: Developing a Sustainable Environment covers many different aspects of sustainability which would be helpful for undergraduate classes. The student will be exposed to many differ dimensions of sustainability and the climate."
-Thomas Macagno, Chatham University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

"In the crowded market of books on energy and climate, this offering from Julie Kerr stands out as an accessible and wide-ranging offering. The book covers all aspects of energy and climate that one would expect to see in such a text, and the author has an ability to communicate, which means that the book should have a very wide appeal. Topics span food, population growth, urban planning and the science behind climate change through to economics and geopolitics. It is rare to see such a wide coverage in a book of this type, but is very much in the spirit and practice of sustainability. I can highly recommend it; especially for those wishing to locate the climate change debates within a broader sustainability context. After all, this matters to us all, whether we like it or not."
-Stephen Morse, University of Surrey, England
