	The Carbon Cycle by T. M. L. Wigley (Editor), D. S. Schimel (Editor) Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is imperative to stabilizing our future climate. Our ability to reduce these emissions combined with an understanding of how much fossil-fuel-derived CO2 the oceans and plants can absorb is central to mitigating climate change. In The Carbon Cycle, leading scientists examine how atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have changed in the past and how this may affect the concentrations in the future. They look at the carbon budget and the "missing sink"...
	Global Warming: The Complete Briefing by John Houghton (Author) John Houghton's market-leading textbook is now in full color and includes the latest IPCC findings, making it the definitive guide to climate change. Written for students across a wide range of disciplines, its simple, logical flow of ideas gives an invaluable grounding in the science and impacts of climate change and highlights the need for action on global warming. Is there evidence for climate changing due to human activities? How do we account for recent extremes of weather and climate? Can...
	Interactions of the Major Biogeochemical Cycles: Global Change And Human Impacts (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE) Series) by Jerry M. Melillo (Editor), Christopher B. Field (Editor), Bedrich Moldan (Editor) Interactions of the Major Biogeochemical Cycles is a new scientific assessment of element interactions in the biosphere. It provides an up-to-date review of biogeochemistry and its effects on earth’s systems, with leading experts in biogeochemical cycling in atmospheric, land, freshwater, and marine environments offering chapters that summarize and synthesize information in each discipline. The book opens with chapters on cross-cutting issues that have significance in understanding global...
	Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology by F. Stuart Chapin III (Author), Harold A. Mooney (Author), Melissa C. Chapin (Author), Pamela Matson (Illustrator) Outlines the central processes that characterize terrestrial ecosystems, tracing the flow of water, carbon, and nutrients from their abiotic origins to their cycles through plants, animals, and decomposer organisms. Softcover.
	Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics by Jorge L. Sarmiento (Author) Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the processes that control the mean concentration and distribution of biologically utilized elements and compounds in the ocean. Though it is written as a textbook, it will also be of interest to more advanced scientists as a wide-ranging synthesis of our present understanding of ocean biogeochemical processes. The first two...
