Recenzii

I was excited to find text that matches my teaching needs so well. It has a clear authoritative approach which draws from key sources and provides an excellent narrative to enhance student learning.
This book fills an important niche: dealing with climate impacts and adaptation at local to regional scale. Nothing has changed; I know of no other similar book and the need, if anything, has increased.
Clear and comprehensive
