| book description |
Now in its 4th, extended edition, this completely revised and significantly expanded handbook addresses important new research findings and the global need for action related to climate change in its two most relevant aspects: mitigation and adaptation. There is a growing consensus that anthropogenic activities have been driving global climate change, and the consequence will be catastrophic for civilization. Reducing the 37.1 billion metric tons of CO2 produced annually (2017 global emissions) along with other greenhouse gases, particularly methane, has become a leading grand challenge and the pursuit of sustainable energy, environments, and economies is a complex issue affecting the daily life of every citizen. In this 4th edition, readers will find new chapters covering the causes and impacts of global warming, the climate change impacts on health, biodiversity, and the economy, and emerging technologies for climate change mitigation. Particular attention is given to topics such as wildfire threats, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, sea level rise, and permafrost thaw. The latest research on sustainable aviation fuels, carbon mineralization, and smart cities is also covered in this new edition, as well as topics like sustainable building design, climate-resistant building materials, and sustainable agriculture. The Handbook of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation collates information in this multi-disciplinary area, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the scientific background and current and emerging technologies. Intended for an interdisciplinary, global audience of researchers and decision-makers at universities and in industry, it covers climate change models; established, mature, and promising future technologies and ideas; the impact of climate change; strategies for dealing with global warming; the related political frameworks; and climate education. Â

This first comprehensive biography of Cecil Rhodes in a generation illuminates Rhodes’s vision for the expansion of imperialism in southern Africa, connecting politics and industry to internal development, and examines how this fueled a lasting, white-dominated colonial society.
