Hardback. Zustand: Good. Wallace S. Broecker, a longtime researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, warned about the possible consequences of global warming decades before the concept entered popular consciousness. Hooked on climate studies since his student days, he has learned, largely through his own findings, that climate changes--naturally, dramatically, and rarely benignly. He also knows from experience that when mankind pushes nature as we are currently doing by dumping some sixty to seventy million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day, climate will change even more dramatically and less benignly. A. DJ. Some slight staining to page edges, otherwise good; previous owner's name partially rubbed out. 253 pages.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First edition. Fine in a fine, price-clipped dustwrapper. Inscribed by Broecker, who was the geoscientist whose 1975 paper "Climactic Change: Are We On the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?" popularized the term "global warming" and sounded an early (largely unheeded) alarm. Broecker has been called "one of the founding fathers of climate science" and "the world's expert on climate history.".
