Carbon Dioxide and Global Change from 1989

A probing analysis and thorough review of the many potential consequences of the rapidly rising CO2 content of Earth's atmosphere. Covering both the physical (climatic) and biological effects of amospheric CO2 enrichment, the book presents a broad overview of the many interrelated aspects of this complex and demanding subject. With citations to references by means of numerical superscripts, it can be read without distraction, or, for those who wish to scrutinize the basis for what is said, almost every statement of fact and opinion can be traced to its original source. An excellent supplement for college courses concerned with the enviroment and for scientists involved in all aspects of CO2 research. * Over two thousand literature citations * Extensive subject index (3500 entries relating to both the text and references) * Complete index of the 2700-plus authors * Up-to-date, with references to mid-1989, aporximately half from the last five years [circa 1989] Special emphasis on the search for evidence of global warming (the greenhouse effect) and global vegetative stimulation(the other "greenhouse effect"). Covers the pros and cons of all issues related to these phenomena and presents the author's best estimate of where the world is headed as a result of man's "great geophysical experiment." --- from book's back cover
