Editorial Reviews
Review
I was excited to find text that matches my teaching needs so well. It has a clear authoritative approach which draws from key sources and provides an excellent narrative to enhance student learning. ―
Mark Phillipson, Glasgow Caledonian UniversityThis book fills an important niche: dealing with climate impacts and adaptation at local to regional scale. Nothing has changed; I know of no other similar book and the need, if anything, has increased. ―
Nigel Tapper, Monash UniversityClear and comprehensive ―
Greg Spellman, University of NorthhamptonThe timely, expertly crafted
Climate Change: Impacts and Adaptations at Regional and Local Scales stands as both a scholarly and practical achievement. Its well-structured design, glossary, and learning outcomes make it highly useful for teaching and learning, while its synthesis of theory and application provides students and practitioners alike with clear, evidence-based guidance for developing locally relevant adaptation strategies. The authors succeed in their central aim of linking global climate science to the scales of impact and action. It will undoubtedly become a key reference for my students and a valuable resource for a wide range of professionals. ― Nicholas Cullen, University of OtagoAbout the Author
