Reviews
`How often do you come across a book that you find yourself drawing upon for key insights even before you can finish reading it? This is one of those books. Between its covers, there is a wealth of well-presented information and analysis on a wide range of tightly defined topics within its subject area.. . . Its 15 chapters are consistently well presented and their contents provide both a sound appreciation of their subject and valuable insights for practitioners engaged in addressing the challenges of responding to Earth' s changing climate.' -- Bob Speirs, Australasian Journal of Environmental Management `This Research Handbook brings together a range of eminent scholars from across disciplines and across the globe to provide an insightful contribution to the ongoing debate on the complex interaction between climate and agriculture. In particular, while there is full recognition of the inherent difficulties in developing adaptation and mitigation strategies, there is also a most welcome willingness to make concrete suggestions as to the way forward.' -- Michael N. Cardwell, University of Leeds, UK `This book is a useful introduction to the research which is being undertaken in the area of climate change and agricultural law.' -- University of Western Australia Law Review `The authors and editors have produced a thought-provoking collection of essays which advance the study of how food security might be delivered in response to our changing climate.' -- Peter J. Gregory, Food Security
