Description: Handbook of Climate Change and Agroecosystems : Impacts, Adaptation, and Mitigation, Hardcover by Hillel, Daniel (EDT); Rosenzweig, Cynthia (EDT), ISBN 1848166559, ISBN-13 9781848166554, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This is volume 1 of a new series from Imperial College Press titled "ICP Series on Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation, and Mitigation." Editors-in chief Daniel Hillel and Cynthia Rosenzweig--both affiliated with Columbia U. and Goddard Institute for Space Studies--explain in the preface that climate change "can be expected to involve an exceedingly complex set of secondary effects and interactions...likely to cascade through the entire biosphere and hydrosphere, impacting all life on earth and specifically bearing upon every aspect of human concern and endeavor." The series will address these interactions with an in-depth, multidisciplinary approach and the fundamental idea that "scientists, who habitually concentrate upon specific sets of phenomena, [must] deliberately widen their field of vision and cooperate across disciplines to encompass increasingly complex interactions...," and to find mitigating responses or solutions. Bracketed by the editors' introductory and concluding essays, 20 contributed chapters are arranged in sections on broad-scale interactions; measuring and modeling CO2 and temperature effects; climate, pests, and regions; and adaptation and mitigation.
