Global Climate Change
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.

Chaos im Alltag
Vom Schwarm der Stare bis zurm Fall des Wassertropfens: So begegnet uns das Chaos im Alltag.Chaostheorie leicht verständlich: Wissenschaft als Lesevergnügen.Das neue Buch von Erfolgsautor Brian Clegg.Die Mathematik, die wir in der Schule lernen, behandelt nur einfache Strukturen. Die Realität ist weitaus komplexer. Um ein System mit zusammenwirkenden Komponenten zu verstehen - beispielsweise das Wetter, den menschlichen Körper oder die Börse - sind zwei Aspekte wichtig: Chaos und Komplexität. Wenn wir diese beiden wesentlichen Themen nicht verstehen, können wir die reale Welt nicht verstehen.In Chaos im Alltag erklärt Brian Clegg Chaos und Komplexität reich illustriert in einer verständlichen, zugänglichen Art und Weise. Mit Chaos meint Clegg ein System, in dem komplexe Interaktionen die Vorhersage langfristiger Ergebnisse nahezu unmöglich machen. Komplexität bedeutet interagierende Systeme mit neuen Eigenschaften, die sie zu mehr als der Summe ihrer Teile machen. Clegg veranschaulicht diese Phänomene mit Diskussionen über vorhersehbare Zufälligkeit, Wahrscheinlichkeit und dem Verhalten von Pendeln. Er beschreibt, was Newton an der Schwerkraft falsch gemacht hat und warum das Wetter Chaos erzeugt. Er betrachtet den Aktienmarkt, die Politik, Bestsellerlisten, Big Data und Turbulenzen beim Fliegen als Beispiele für chaotische Systeme und erklärt, wie ein besseres Verständnis des Chaos Wissenschaftlern hilft, das Risiko katastrophaler Kollisionen zwischen Erde und Asteroiden genauer vorherzusagen. Und so wird Chaostheorie dank Clegg greifbar und wir lernen, dass Chaos ganz alltäglich ist und das Leben an sich das beste Beispiel für ein komplexes System ist.
