SCIENCE OF THE EARTH, CLIMATE AND ENERGY (GEOLOGY EARTH STUDIES EARTH SC)

Book ID/图书代码： 14600018C00016

English Summary/英文概要： Whether on personal health, politics, or climate change, we are constantly bombarded with more numerous ’breaking news’ articles than we have time for. In such an environment, how can we tell which to read, or which is even true.

Science of the Earth, Climate and Energy helps readers understand major issues that affect us individually and the world as a whole.

In language that a non-scientist can follow easily, the book first explains the general principles of science, its nature and how it works, with a certain degree of emphasis on the meaning of the words uncertainty and fact, before it goes into the related topics of the earth, its climate and energy sources at a level that does not require a background in science. Finally, the book addresses what individuals and societies can do to mitigate problems associated with both climate change and limited resources.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： *作为全球性问题，气候变化及能源收到当今世界各国民众的重点关注。大量碎片化的文章、分析、研究结果等充斥在公共信息领域，导致普通受众只能“管中窥豹”，无法找到真实、根本的内容，了解问题的核心。本书旨在向读者提供关于气候和能源问题最基本、核心的概念和知识，帮助读者对相关问题有一个全面、客观的了解；*本书由浅入深，以浅显易懂的文字，使得即使没有科学背景知识的读者，也能轻松读懂本书；*与大部分图书不同，本书更强调科学的本质，并使用了大量的篇幅详细地描述了科学的基本精神与规律，可作为相关学科的教材使用。(WS)

Awards/获奖情况：The book is targeted as a General Education textbook for college level teaching. As most good General Education textbooks, the book can also be used as a general education tool for the general public, before and after college education, that wish to familiarise themselves with energy related science. … The book is well written with minimal emphasis on quantitative analysis … I highly recommend this fascinating new book. --Professor Micha Tomkiewicz, Brooklyn College and School for Graduate Studies, City University of New York
