    The Climate Change 2001 volumes of the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC provide the most comprehensive assessment of climate change since its second report, Climate Change 1995. This Synthesis Report provides a policy-relevant, but not policy-prescriptive, synthesis and integration of information contained within the Third Assessment Report and also draws upon all previously approved and accepted IPCC reports that address a broad range of key policy-relevant questions. For this reason it will be especially useful for policy makers and researchers, and as a main or supplementary student textbook for courses in environmental studies, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology, and atmospheric chemistry.

    • THE international, impartial summary on all aspects of climate change
    • State-of-the-art analysis, for students and researchers
    • Contains contributions from and is edited by the best international researchers on climate change

    '… for someone who is looking for a comprehensive account of the current state of climate science, and an exhaustive compilation of references to the furious scientific endeavor of the past few years, this volume will be invaluable. It will be a key reference, at least until the next report in the new millennium!' Weather

    '… a wealth of clear, well-organized information that is all in one place … there is much to applaud.' Environment International

    'The Science of Climate Change is a must-read for all researchers - even those who don't study climate. If you want to know what the world's top scientists think about this issue, you have to read this book.' Reaction Times
