eBook: Climate Change: Our Warming Earth
This title presents the history of climate change. Vivid text details how early studies of greenhouse gases and climate models led to our modern understanding of Earth's climate.
eBook: Climate change
New edition. Extreme heat, prolonged drought, devastating floods, massive wildfires, and destructive hurricanes are the new face of global climate change. Through a narrative-driven pro/con format--supported by relevant facts, quotes, anecdotes, and full-color illustrations--this title examines issues related to climate change. Topics include: Should the United States End Its Reliance on Fossil Fuels? Who Bears the Responsibility for Solving Climate Change? What Must Humanity Do in the Face of Climate Change?
eBook: The climate change crisis
This book presents the latest findings and projections, and examines what Australia and the rest of the world is doing to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis. How much of global warming and extreme weather is human-induced? As we continue to weigh up the costs of action in relation to the risks, is it time to ask: are we leaving it too late to effectively tackle climate change?
eBook: Farming and the Food Supply
well-researched book explores in detail the range of current and impending challenges that farming and food supply faces as a result of global warming. Readers are introduced to farming and its relationship to global warming. They will analyze the effect of population growth and climate change on daily calorie availability.
eBook: Analyzing Disappearing Habitats
Deforestation, mining, drilling, rising sea levels, and other threats are contributing to decreasing biodiversity around the world. This analytical approach to disappearing habitats and endangered species addresses issues such as climate change, population growth, and the efficacy of conservation efforts. Readers are provided with statistics and perspectives on all sides of the issue.
eBook: Plate Tectonics
Borders between two plates are often the site of earthquakes and volcanoes. The plates can slide against each other, crash into each other, move apart, and even create mountains.
eBook: The Importance of Plate Tectonic Theory
The Importance of Plate Tectonics Theory examines the core idea behind the theory, how it developed, and the many ways that it has influenced daily life, culture, science, and societal change.
eBook: Volcanic Processes
Readers will explore the geological structure that makes volcanic activity possible and follow the sequence of events that culminate in an eruption. In addition to eruptions, this text examines other geothermal activities, the benefits of which may surprise young readers.
eBook: Global Warming
This thought-provoking volume examines the science behind the greenhouse effect, identifies the human role in and response to climate change, and explores the various effects of this worldwide phenomenon.
eBook: Global Warming Cycles
This title focuses on the mechanisms that caused past climate changes, putting the Earth repeatedly into and out of ice ages. It compares natural cycles with today's rapid global warming, caused principally by the behavior of humans.
eBook: Global Warming
Readers will learn the science behind global warming with the aid of full-color photographs and charts, a glossary, and sidebars. They will also discover what individuals, nations, and organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Nature Conservancy can do to save the planet.
eBook: What Is the Atmosphere and How Does It Circulate?
will learn about the atmosphere's layers, composition, and evolution. The atmosphere's role in creating weather is explained, with topics such as atmospheric pressure, cloud formation, and precipitation clearly addressed. Readers will also learn about the greenhouse effect, as well as the problematic effects of air pollution.
eBook: The Carbon Cycle
This text offers a straightforward explanation of the carbon cycle, including what carbon is, the places where it is found, and how it is exchanged. In addition, readers will gain insight into how human activity affects the carbon cycle in nature.
