Two Degrees: The Built Environment and Our Changing Climate
Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 54.95The Earth?s temperature has been rising. To limit catastrophic outcomes, the international scientific community has set a challenging goal of no more than two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) average temperature rise. Economists agree we will save trillions of dollars by acting early. But how do we act successfully? And what?s the backup plan... more...
Adaptive Governance and Climate Change
Springer 2010; US$ 29.95As greenhouse gas emissions and temperatures at the poles continue to rise, so do damages from extreme weather events affecting countless lives. Meanwhile, ambitious international efforts to cut emissions (Kyoto, Copenhagen) have proved to be politically ineffective or infeasible. There is hope, however, in adaptive governance?an approach that has... more...

The Burning Question
Profile 2013; US$ 15.98The Burning Question reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political and social puzzle in history.
