商品描述

This is an invaluable textbook for any introductory survey course on the science and policy of climate change, for both non-science majors and introductory science students. The second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent science from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and many illustrations include new data. The new edition also reflects advances in the political debate over climate change. Unique amongst textbooks on climate change, it combines an introduction to the science with an introduction to economic and policy issues, and is tightly focused on anthropogenic climate change. It contains the necessary quantitative depth for students to properly understand the science of climate change. It supports students in using algebra to understand simple equations and to solve end-of-chapter problems. Supplementary online resources include a complete set of PowerPoint figures for instructors, solutions to exercises, videos of the author's lectures, and additional computer exercises.

●Provides students with an entire overview of recent climate change - science, economics, and policy
●Covers science in more depth and with more rigor than other introductory textbooks
●Suitable for both science and non-science majors
●Fully up to date with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report findings

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本對於任何氣候變遷科學與政策的入門調查課程來說都非常寶貴的教科書，適合非科學專業的學生以及入門科學的學生。第二版已全面更新，以反映最新的氣候變遷政府間專門委員會（Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change）報告中的最新科學，許多插圖也包含了新數據。新版本還反映了氣候變遷政治辯論的進展。這本教科書在氣候變遷的教材中獨樹一幟，結合了科學的介紹與經濟和政策問題的介紹，並且緊密聚焦於人為氣候變遷。它包含了學生正確理解氣候變遷科學所需的必要定量深度。它支持學生使用代數來理解簡單方程式並解決章末問題。補充的線上資源包括完整的PowerPoint圖表供教師使用、練習題的解答、作者講座的影片以及額外的電腦練習。

● 為學生提供近期氣候變遷的全面概述 - 科學、經濟學和政策
● 在科學方面比其他入門教科書更深入且更嚴謹
● 適合科學和非科學專業的學生
● 完全符合氣候變遷政府間專門委員會第五次評估報告的發現

作者簡介

Andrew Dessler is a climate scientist who studies both the science and politics of climate change. His scientific research revolves around climate feedbacks, in particular how water vapor and clouds act to amplify warming from the carbon dioxide that human activities emit. During the last year of the Clinton Administration, he served as a Senior Policy Analyst in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Based on his research and policy experience, he has authored two books on climate change: this textbook and The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate, 2nd edition (with Edward Parson, 2010). This textbook won the 2014 American Meteorological Society Louis J. Battan Author's Award. In recognition of his work on outreach, in 2011 he was named a Google Science Communication Fellow. He is presently a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University. His educational background includes a BA in physics from Rice University and a PhD in chemistry from Harvard University. He also undertook postdoctoral work at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and spent nine years on the research faculty of the University of Maryland.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

安德魯·德斯勒（Andrew Dessler）是一位氣候科學家，研究氣候變遷的科學與政治。他的科學研究圍繞氣候反饋，特別是水蒸氣和雲層如何加劇人類活動所排放的二氧化碳所造成的暖化。在克林頓政府的最後一年，他擔任白宮科學與技術政策辦公室的高級政策分析師。根據他的研究和政策經驗，他撰寫了兩本有關氣候變遷的書籍：這本教科書以及《全球氣候變遷的科學與政治：辯論指南，第二版》（與愛德華·帕森（Edward Parson）合著，2010年）。這本教科書獲得了2014年美國氣象學會路易斯·J·巴坦（Louis J. Battan）作者獎。為了表彰他在推廣工作上的貢獻，2011年他被任命為谷歌科學傳播研究員。他目前是德克薩斯農工大學（Texas A&M University）大氣科學教授。他的教育背景包括在萊斯大學（Rice University）獲得物理學學士學位，以及在哈佛大學（Harvard University）獲得化學博士學位。他還在美國國家航空暨太空總署（NASA）的戈達德太空飛行中心（Goddard Space Flight Center）進行了博士後研究，並在馬里蘭大學（University of Maryland）的研究教職上工作了九年。
