Notă biografică

William F. Ruddiman is retired from the University of Virginia, USA and has since concentrated his research on the climatic role farmers played during the last several thousand years by clearing land, raising livestock, and irrigating rice padis. Over the course of his career, Ruddiman has explored several different aspects of the field of paleoclimate - from orbital-scale changes in North Atlantic sediment to the cause of long-term cooling over the last 50 million years. He has written trade books and numerous journal articles.

Caracteristici

Timely new edition updated to address evidence that rising greenhouse gas concentrations caused by human activities are a primary factor behind global warming
Cites new advances and evidence in the field of climate science

Descriere

Motivated by advances in the field of climate science, this new edition uses a multidisciplinary perspective to address new evidence for anthropogenically driven global warming and explores important new advances in understanding past climates and the climatic responses of Earth's major systems as they have developed through the planet's history.
