Earth's climate is changing. This book investigates the scientific, environmental, social, political, and economic aspects of climate change. It enables students to reach an informed opinion and encourages active engagement in finding solutions.It begins with a strong introduction to the scientific factors that drive natural and anthropogenic climate change and expands over three chapters to explore the impact of greenhouse gases on the distribution of solar energy across land, sea, ice, and air. The author examines geologically ancient climates in order to highlight possible future scenarios, and case studies from around the world highlight the impact of climate change on the physical and human environment. The final chapters investigate how society can respond to the challenges of climate change and overcome the political, social, and economic factors that are barriers to progress, focusing on the role of energy policy, fiscal policy, and risk assessment as a means to stimulate discussion about science, society, and the role of the media. Science is the foundation of any solution, but to turn this knowledge into action requires the application of a broad set of skills that are rooted in the liberal arts experience such as critical thinking, analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication.This textbook will be an essential resource for students taking courses in environmental geography, climate change, natural hazards, climatology, and meteorology.

An oral history of the Hurricane of 1938 in southeastern Connecticut. Read memories from over 65 people who lived through the storm. Illustrated with more than 60 photographs, many never published before. The hurricane hit on September 21, 1938 with no warning. Wind speeds of 120 miles per hour tore roofs off of houses and schools, uprooted huge trees, and collapsed barns. In New London, a large part of the city burned. After the storm subsided, a tidal surge raced up the Thames River flooding the city of Norwich in places to a depth of eleven feet. Bridges were washed away, dams were washed out and the city was left cut off from all outside communication. Along the shore in Connecticut and Rhode Island, seaside communities were washed away, never to be rebuilt. Within three hours all of southeastern New England was devastated.This book covers Norwich and its surrounding towns including: Preston, Griswold, Sprague, Canterbury, and Bozrah. Stories are also included from coastal towns such as New London, Lord's Point, and Watch Hill and Misquamicut, Rhode Island. Written in partnership with The Norwich Bulletin.

Wind, Wellen und bewegtes Wasser - die drei Elemente der See gehören zu den mächtigsten Naturgewalten, die allein oder gemeinsam das Antlitz unseres Planeten geformt und verändert haben. STURM ist eine fotografische Hommage an die Gewalt und Kraft des Wetters, sowohl auf See als auch an vielen Küsten der Erde. Über Jahrzehnte hat Peter Neumann in seinen detailreichen Fotografien die Wirkungsweise und Auswirkungen von Stürmen festgehalten. Mit seinem atemberaubenden Bildband gelingt es ihm, die Energie der See einzufangen und dem Betrachter die Wucht des Wetters und der Ozeane mit der Kamera nahezubringen. So detailreich und nah wie in keinem anderen Buch zeigen die Fotografien die Faszination stürmischer Bedingungen und vermitteln zugleich die Schönheit von peitschendem Wind und Wasser auf hoher See.
