nxieties over global and national energy, water, and climate security are growing. Oil and gas are at record prices, and global energy demand is increasing. Water availability is dwindling from aquifer overpumping and contamination. Water needs to be better managed to feed a growing global population. Climate change is exacerbating the impacts of the overuse of our planet’s resources. This book examines the powerful interconnections that link energy, water, climate, and population and explores available options to address these issues jointly. It clearly demonstrates the need for urgent action.

xtreme events—climatic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and drought, as well as events not related to the climate such as earthquakes, wars, and transportation-related disasters— can cause massive disruption to society, including large death tolls and property damage in the billions of dollars. Events in recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This volume presents an integrated review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for predicting, controlling, and managing both manmade and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing, and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders, and health care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention, or mitigation of large-scale disasters.

➤ See page 4 This book provides a comprehensive, rigorous and practical analysis of sustainable development prospects today by applying the innovative sustainomics framework. Developed over the past 15 years by the eminent environmental scientist, Mohan Munasinghe, sustainomics shows us the ﬁrst practical steps in making the transition from the risky business-as-usual scenario to a safe and sustainable future. Its main message is optimistic: although the problems are serious, an effective response can be mounted to make development more sustainable if it is initiated immediately. The book explains the key principles underlying sustainomics cogently, concisely and with

minimum technical jargon, with mathematical and other details being provided in annexes. It illustrates the methodology with empirical case studies that are practical and policy-relevant over a wide range of time and geographic scales, countries, sectors, ecosystems and circumstances. The extensive bibliography is useful to researchers of speciﬁc issues within sustainable development. This book appeals to a wide audience, including students, researchers from many disciplines, policy analysts, public and private decision makers and development practitioners.

‘This book is unique ... Munasinghe brings together a wide range of skills. As a respected and

eminently practical. He presents his arguments lucidly and convincingly. This text, written by a leading world authority on sustainable development, is an invaluable resource.’ professor james gustave speth, Yale University, and former Administrator, United Nations Development Program

‘This book is an impressive presentation of policy-oriented research ... In a trans-disciplinary

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN PRACTICE

This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book begins by explaining the classical laws of thermodynamics, and discusses Gibbs energy and the elementary kinetic theory of gases with special applications to the atmosphere. Individual chapters focus on various fluid systems, including vapor pressure over flat and curved surfaces of pure liquids and solutions, and examine the vertical dependence of

temperature and pressure for environmental sounding and moving air parcels. Recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, a chapter is devoted to chemical thermodynamics and contains an overview of photochemistry.

MOH A N

Although students are expected to have some background knowledge of calculus, general

These questions, and more, are discussed in this thorough introduction for undergraduate students to the complex world of water resources. The strength of the book is in its coverage of the fundamentals of the science of water, aquatic ecology, geomorphology, and hydrology. Topics are brought to life for students from all areas of science with the use of internet resources and examples from water resource issues in the news. The book begins with a short history of the human use of, and influence on, water. Following the basics of water chemistry and the hydrologic cycle are chapters on the geomorphology, hydrology, chemistry, and biology of lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Major disease issues, worldwide water quality and quantity problems, and potential solutions are also addressed. Water laws, water allocation, and the conflicts involved are discussed using international and US examples. Students taking a water resource course in the departments of environmental studies, life science, Earth science, and engineering will benefit from this broad survey of these crucial issues.

Mountain Weather and Climate

Cambridge University Press has offices, representatives and distributors in some 60 countries around the world; our publications are available through bookshops in virtually every country.

Mountains and high plateau areas account for a quarter of the Earth's land surface. They give rise to a wide range of meteorological phenomena and distinctive climatic characteristics of consequence for ecology, forestry, glaciology, and hydrology. Mountain Weather and Climate remains the only comprehensive textbook describing and explaining mountain weather and climate processes. It presents the results of a broad range of studies drawn from across the world. Since the first edition of this book appeared over two decades ago, several important field programs have been conducted in mountain areas. Notable among these have been the European Alpine Experiment and related investigations of local winds, studies of air

‘The Stern Review shows us, with utmost clarity, while allowing fully for all the uncertainties, what global warming is going to mean; and what can and should be done to reduce it. It provides numbers for the economic impact, and for the necessary economic policies. It deserves the widest circulation. I wish it the greatest possible impact. Governments have a clear and immediate duty to accept the challenge it represents.’ James Mirrlees, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Economics, 1996

‘The stark prospects of climate change and its mounting economic and human costs are clearly brought out in this searching investigation. What is particularly striking is the identification of ways and means of sharply minimizing these penalties through acting right now, rather than waiting for our lives to be overrun by rapidly advancing adversities. The world would be foolish to neglect this strong but strictly time-bound practical message.’ Amartya Sen, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Economics, 1998

‘The Stern Review of The Economics of Climate Change provides the most thorough and rigorous analysis to date of the costs and risks of climate change, and the costs and risks of reducing emissions. It makes clear that the question is not whether we can afford to act, but whether we can afford not to act. … And it provides a comprehensive agenda-one which is economically and politically feasible-behind which the entire world can unite in addressing this most important threat to our future well being.’ Joseph Stiglitz, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Economics, 2001 2007 247 x 174 mm 712pp 125 line figures 5 halftones 25 tables 978-0-521-70080-1 Paperback £32.00

Why We Disagree About Climate Change Understanding Controversy, Inaction and Opportunity Mike Hulme University of East Anglia

Mike Hulme provides a unique insider’s account of climate change and the diverse ways in which it is understood. He uses different standpoints from science, economics, faith, psychology, communication, sociology, politics and development to explain why we disagree about this important phenomenon. ‘This is a very rare book. A scientific book about climate change, that deals both with the science, and our own personal response to this science. It does all this supremely well, and should be compulsory reading for both sceptics and advocates. However, it does so much more, it is a book of great modesty and humanity. It uses climate change to ask questions more broadly about our own beliefs, assumptions and prejudices, and how we make individual and collective decisions.’ Chris Mottershead, Distinguished Advisor, BP p.l.c.

‘In this personal and deeply reflective book, a distinguished climate researcher shows why it may be both wrong and frustrating to keep asking what we can do for climate change. Tracing the many meanings of climate in culture, Hulme asks instead what climate change can do for us. Uncertainty and ambiguity emerge here as resources, because they force us to confront those things we really want – not safety in some distant, contested future but justice and self-understanding now. Without downplaying its seriousness, Hulme demotes climate change from ultimate threat to constant companion, whose murmurs unlock in us the instinct for justice and equality.’ Sheila Jasanoff, Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Harvard University

An Introduction to Ocean Turbulence S. A. Thorpe University of Wales, Bangor

This textbook is a dynamic introduction to turbulent motion occurring naturally in the ocean for undergraduate courses in physical oceanography, and a useful

lead-in to the author’s more advanced graduate textbook, The Turbulent Ocean. It is supported by more than 50 exercises, with solutions available to instructors online. It ‘An Introduction to Ocean Turbulence by Steve Thorpe is the first book addressing the needs of instructors teaching introductory courses in ocean mixing. After initial explanations of turbulence fundamentals and techniques for measuring it in the ocean, the emphasis shifts to the processes producing the turbulence and how they in turn are generated and drive dissipation, diapycnal fluxes and dispersion. Copious illustrations from journal articles tie these discussions to current research and give students a clear path to reading current literature. By focusing on the energetics of ocean mixing, the final chapter puts the discussion into a global context. With this book, Professor Thorpe provides an invaluable aide to anyone teaching courses about ocean mixing to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.’ Professor Michael Gregg, University of Washington
