Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

This illustrated guide for general readers contains information on global climate change drawn from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The authors aim to disseminate this knowledge to a wider public by providing basic facts and discussion of projections, impacts, vulnerability and adaptation, and solving global warming. There is no bibliography. Mann and Kump work in meteorology and geosciences and at the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State U. Mann has contributed to IPCC reports and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2007 along with Al Gore. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been issuing the essential facts and figures on climate change for nearly two decades. But the hundreds of pages of scientific evidence quoted for accuracy by the media and scientists alike, remain inscrutable to the general public who may still question the validity of climate change.

Esteemed climate scientists Michael E. Mann and Lee R. Kump, have partnered with DK Publishing to present Dire Predictions??????an important book in this time of global need. Dire Predictions presents the information documented by the IPCC in an illustrated, visually-stunning, and undeniably powerful way to the lay reader. The scientific findings that provide validity to the implications of climate change are presented in clear-cut graphic elements, striking images, and understandable analogies.
