"Environmental Change describes and explains the current and future significance of past and contemporary environmental, and especially climatic, change. It outlines the conceptual framework for studies of environmental change by posing a series of key questions and presenting the results of the most recent and relevant research. It thereby establishes a basis for evaluating projections of future environmental change." "This book provides a balanced basis for understanding and exploring the scientific issues underlying global change for advanced undergraduates in geography, environmental, earth, biological and ecological sciences. By providing a non-specialist introduction to models in environmental change research and to the study of past environmental changes, it seeks to draw a wider group of students into the field."--Jacket.

The interactions between environmental change and human societies have a long, complex history spanning many millennia, but these have changed fundamentally in the last century. Human activities are now so pervasive and profound that they are altering the Earth in ways which threaten the very life support system upon which humans depend. This book describes what is known about the Earth System and the impact of changes caused by humans. It considers the consequences of these changes with respect to the stability of the Earth System and the well-being of humankind; as well as exploring future paths towards Earth System science in support of global sustainability.
