Adaptation to Climate Change: From Resilience to Transformation
ISBN: 9780415477512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The impacts of climate change are already being felt.

Adaptation to Climate Change argues that, without care, adaptive actions can deny the deeper political and cultural roots that... The impacts of climate change are already being felt.
