Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Climates of the Continents A work of this kind must be essentially a compilation from such materials as statistics, more or less adequate, maps showing certain factors of climate, and regional descriptions; the result is largely dependent on the nature of the original sources. A glance at the following pages will show that no uniformity of treatment has been achieved or even attempted. The principle followed has been to present the main features of the climate of each region considered especially in relation to the greater units of the globe. It is' clearly impossible to give any detailed local descriptions in a book of this scope. But it is hoped that the general account may constitute a framework into which detailed local descriptions may be intelligently fitted, a convenient skeleton to carry the details necessary for the special purposes of the meteorologist, the botanist, the zoologist, and the geographer. As it seemed desirable to make each chapter as far as possible complete in itself, repetition has been in some places inevitable.

Book excerpt: Today's greater public awareness of how climate affects our quality of life and environment has created an increasing demand for climatological information. Now this information is available in one convenient, accessible source, The Encyclopedia of Climatology. This comprehensive volume covers all the main subfields of climatology, supplies data on climates in major continental areas and explains what is known about the causes of climatic processes and changes. Contents include articles on bioclimatology, El Niño, climatic models, world regional climates, civilization and climate, climatic variations and the greenhouse effect.

Download or read book Climates of the Southern Continents written by Jack E. Hobbs and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a significant gap in the climatological literature, providing a comprehensive assessment of the climates of the southern hemisphere. It is the first book of its type to provide a consolidated view of the climates of southern Africa, Australia, South America and Antarctica, addressing past and future climates as well as those of the present. Present climates are considered in the first part of the book, to provide a background against which past and future climates can be investigated. Emphasis in the book is on the inter-relatedness of global, synoptic and smaller scale aspects of southern hemisphere continental climates. Discussion of topical, but fundamental, concerns including El Niño, global warming and climate variability is incorporated throughout the text. The study of the climatology of the southern hemisphere is fundamental to our understanding of climates and climatic issues across the globe. The book will therefore be of particular interest to scientists interested in climate with a focus beyond the southern hemisphere, as well as those with a specialised interest in all or part of the southern hemisphere. It is also a significant addition to the literature for climate researchers as well as for undergraduate students studying climatology in the atmospheric, environmental and earth sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving through the northeastern part of the United States during the fall is much different than traveling through the Southwest. Vermont will have many trees with their leaves changing color, while a state like Arizona will be dry, hot, and not have much vegetation. These states are in different climate zones! Readers learn the main features of Earth’s climate zones, including the tropical, temperate, polar, Mediterranean, highland, and arid zones. Full-color photographs and maps of these regions aid the main content in supporting both science and geography curricula.

This set is written with a then and now approach exploring current events and environmental shifts and how they have affected the geography, wildlife, and people. Features include: Sidebars with added-value facts and tips. Mapping skills activities, field trip features, and charts and graphs. Content clearly presents the key steps of the effect of climate change on a region's geography, flora, fauna, and people. Includes both primary and secondary sources as textual evidence to support the central concepts. Domain-specific vocabulary words are used in a scientific context to help students understand their meaning and accelerate comprehension.
Download or read book Climates of the World written by Danuta Martyn and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the great quantity of climatological literature, there are few books describing climates from the geographical point of view. The present volume is an attempt to fill this gap. The first part discusses the principal processes and factors shaping and differentiating climatic conditions, the distribution of climatic elements and the regionalisation of climates. The second and main part examines the climates of the continents and oceans, the continents being treated in considerable detail and the oceans more generally. Each section begins with a climatic review of the whole continent, followed by a detailed discussion of the climatic conditions of large countries or groups of smaller ones. Subsections discuss such factors as length of daylight, solar radiation, air pressure systems and winds, tempatures, humidity cloudiness, and precipitation experienced by regions. This volume serves as a useful guide for geographers and environmental scientists, climatologists, and the many nonprofessionals interested in the world and its climates.

Book excerpt: Arguing that the climate crisis confronting the world today is rooted mainly in the wealthy economies’ abuse of fossil fuels, indigenous forests, and global commercial agriculture, this important book investigates how Africa has been exploited and how Africans should respond for the good of all. As it examines the oil industry in Africa and probes the causes of global warming, this record warns of its insidious impacts and explores false solutions. Demonstrating that the issues around natural resource exploitation, corporate profiteering, and climate change must be considered together if the planet is to be saved, the book suggests how Africa can overcome the crises of environment and global warming.
