Eric Sloane's Book of Storms: Hurricanes, Twisters and Squalls
ISBN: 9780486451008 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) What triggers a tornado? What can you see in the eye of a hurricane? What's the difference between a thunderbolt and a thunderclap? Popular author and artist Eric Sloane proves why weather is something best understood by seeing it. His illustrated book shows weather "happening." In fact, there's not a sunny page in itnothing but cyclonic storms, whirlwinds, waterspouts, lightning bolts, and other fascinating, weather-related topics. More than seventy pages of drawings and diagrams make the weather come alive in a book that examines everything from storm mechanisms and cold fronts to the birth...

The Carbon Cycle
ISBN: 9780521018623 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is imperative to stabilizing our future climate. Our ability to reduce these emissions combined with an understanding of how much fossil-fuel-derived CO2 the oceans and plants can absorb is central to mitigating climate change. In The Carbon Cycle, leading scientists examine how atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have changed in the past and how this may affect the concentrations in the future. They look at the carbon budget and the "missing sink" for carbon dioxide. They offer approaches to modeling the carbon cycle, providing mathematical tools...

Climate Variability, Climate Change and Social Vulnerability in the Semi-Arid Tropics
ISBN: 9780521019477 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Climate changes can trigger events that lead to mass migration, hunger, and even famine. Rather than focus on the impacts that result from climatic fluctuations, the authors look at the underlying conditions that cause social vulnerability. Once we understand why individuals, households, nations, and regions are vulnerable, and how they have buffered themselves against climatic and environmental shifts, then present and future vulnerability can be redressed. By using case studies from across the globe, the authors explore past experiences with climate variability, and the likely effects...
