{"product_id":"global-warming-stuart-harris-9789533071497","title":"Global Warming","description":"This book is intended to introduce the reader to examples of the range of practical problems posed by \"Global Warming\". It includes 11 chapters split into 5 sections. Section 1 outlines the recent changes in the Indian Monsoon, the importance of greenhouse gases to life, and the relative importance of changes in solar radiation in causing the changes. Section 2 discusses the changes to natural hazards such as floods, retreating glaciers and potential sea level changes. Section 3 examines planning cities and transportation systems in the light of the changes, while section 4 looks at alternative energy sources. Section 5 estimates the changes to the carbon pool in the alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The 11 authors come from 9 different countries, so the examples are taken from a truly international set of problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9533071494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789533071497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intechopen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.69d","brand":"Stuart Harris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611909079295,"sku":"9789533071497","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a26c290-06b1-4a74-814d-89c558337e80.jpg?v=1764516884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-warming-stuart-harris-9789533071497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
