Global Climate Change and Natural Resources: Summaries of the 2008-2009 Scientific Literature

This book is The Roberts Environmental Center's annual review of current technical journal articles on the topics of global warming and climate change and their effects on the human and biological environment including agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, and water supply. It is written for the layperson, but each chapter consists of journalistic summaries of eight of the most interesting current technical papers. Taken together, the various chapters provide a clear view into the state of the science, well before any of the information appears in textbooks.
