Climate Trend Atlas of Europe Based on Observations 1891-1990
ISBN: 9780792344834 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Climate varies on all scales of time and space, bya large variety of reasons. However, before any discussion of reasons can be performed it is necessary to realize the very facts of climate variability by means of observations or reconstructions, respectively. In this book we focus on observed long-term trends of selected climate elements (tempera ture, precipitation, humidity, pressure ) as revealed by direct measurements of the Euro pean station network within the recent 100 years. Of course, there are a number of problems in detail: Reliability and accuracy of data, time series...

Weather and Climate Extremes: Changes, Variations and a Perspective from the Insurance Industry
ISBN: 9780792357117 / Angielski / Twarda / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Are extreme weather events becoming more common? How do extreme weather events impact society? These are critical questions that must be examined as we confront the possibility that the world will experience a change in climate over the next century. Much of the research in climatology over the past decade has focused on potential changes in long- term averages of temperature, precipitation and other factors. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that changes in average values will be accompanied by changes in extreme events. Furthermore, extreme weather events will impact society to a...

The Use of Historical Data in Natural Hazard Assessments
ISBN: 9780792371540 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and hurricanes cause environmental, economic as well as sociological problems worldwide. In recent years, greater availability of information and sensational media reports of natural hazard occurrence -and in particular in terms of property damage or loss oflife caused by these hazards -resulted in an increase of hazard awareness at a societal level. This increase in public awareness has often been misconstrued as an indication that natural hazards have been occurring more frequently with higher magnitudes...

Sophisticated Interdependence in Climate Policy: Federalism in the United States, Brazil, and Germany
ISBN: 9781783080175 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the Kyoto Protocol's signing in 1997 the United States has been the world's most prominent climate change outlaw. In the United States, air pollution policymaking starts and ends with the states, whose governmental units implement federal programs. But we find ourselves in uncharted waters in the United States when it comes to state-federal relations in climate change: many states have developed climate change and renewable energy policies ahead of the national government, and lacking an overarching climate change law, the US Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to...

History at the End of the World
ISBN: 9781847601674 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The authors of this collection of essays propose that climate change means serious peril. The approaches begin from archaeology, literature, religion, psychology, sociology, philosophy of science, engineering and sustainable development, as well as 'straight' history. Our argument, however, is not about the science per se. It is about us, our deep and more recent history, and how we arrived at this calamitous impasse. With contributions from academic activists and independent researchers, History at the End of the World challenges advocates of 'business as usual' to think again. But in its...

We didn't know what it might be, but we were warned that it might be dangerous. For Winston Doe, the Tipping Point is a memory: A war called the Jazz War. Battling it to a standstill had taken two generations of soldiers. They gave their lives, and their memories to fight the Jazz War. The media says the war has been won. But how could we win over our environment if it seeks to address an imbalance? Particularly when that imbalance has altered the very nature of human existence. What weapons do we have left? Where is the battlefield? And how do we...

Before Hurricane Katrina, few had even heard of this close-knit predominately African American community nestled just five miles form world-famous Bourbon Street. The author says, "I watched it all unfold on TV from my home near Dallas that morning. As the waters rose, my heart sank." This was my home, my neighborhood, my people. How could I not use my gifts to tell their story? "Untold" lets you: Peek into the lives...

Variability of Air Temperature and Atmospheric Precipitation in the Arctic
ISBN: 9789048161539 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It has been known at least since the end of the century that the polar areas play a very important role in the formation of the Earth s climates. It is also known today that they are the most sensitive regions to climatic change, and are thus perfect case studies for the detection of such changes. The most serious obstacle to the study of climatic and other geographical elements of the polar areas (including the Arctic) has always been the severe climatic conditions which prevail in these regions. Because of these extreme con- tions, research into particular elements of the climatic system...

The Impacts of Climate Variability on Forests
ISBN: 9783540646815 / Angielski / Miękka / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume contains a selection of scientific papers which were presented at an international workshop on the impacts of climatic variability held in Wengen, Switzerland, September 1997. For the first time, an assessment is made of the interactions between physical and biological elements of the Earth System on the basis of shifts in extreme climatic conditions, rather than simply changes in mean atmospheric conditions which research has tended to focus on until recently. Natural ecosystems and forests are typical examples of systems which, while constrained within certain ranges of mean...
