About this product

Product Information

For any science or social science course in need of a basic understanding of IPCC reports. Periodic reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) evaluate the risk of climate change brought on by humans. But the sheer volume of scientific data remains inscrutable to the general public, particularly to those who may still question the validity of climate change. In just over 200 pages, this practical text presents and expands upon the essential findings in a visually stunning and undeniably powerful way to the lay reader. Scientific findings that provide validity to the implications of climate change are presented in clear-cut graphic elements, striking images, and understandable analogies.

Nice price, nice product.
The book was in great condition! It was really resourceful, thorough, and descriptive. It had a lot of graphs, charts, and figures that were easy to follow and to understand. The book puts everything in terms that are easy for even the least scientific of people to understand.
