Recenzii

"This book points the way to solving climate change, not it a naive way, but recognising it is a multi-faceted problem framed within many other environmental and societal issues. It is a great read and holds the readers hand through the complexity, encouraging us to make up our own minds."
— Piers Forster, University of Leeds, England
"Introduction to Energy and Climate: Developing a Sustainable Environment covers many different aspects of sustainability which would be helpful for undergraduate classes. The student will be exposed to many differ dimensions of sustainability and the climate."
—Thomas Macagno, Chatham University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
"In the crowded market of books on energy and climate, this offering from Julie Kerr stands out as an accessible and wide-ranging offering. The book covers all aspects of energy and climate that one would expect to see in such a text, and the author has an ability to communicate, which means that the book should have a very wide appeal. Topics span food, population growth, urban planning and the science behind climate change through to economics and geopolitics. It is rare to see such a wide coverage in a book of this type, but is very much in the spirit and practice of sustainability. I can highly recommend it; especially for those wishing to locate the climate change debates within a broader sustainability context. After all, this matters to us all, whether we like it or not."
—Stephen Morse, University of Surrey, England
