Reviews

From the reviews: “Editor Dodson (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) and 37 authors from 13 countries do a good job covering the issues. … The book covers past and future changes in terrestrial ecosystems, peatlands, polar ice, and lake and river water resources. … The material is written clearly enough for most people to comprehend, and the scientific papers and the extensive references should satisfy those with technical backgrounds. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above.” (M. K. Cleaveland, Choice, Vol. 48 (7), March, 2011)
