Author Description

"Climate Change" summarizes many large and small tomes on climate history and climate change. Harlow A. Hyde presents an eminently readable and much shorter description of this topic, drawn from actual recordings and measurements spanning prehistory to our present day. The author's serious, yet sometimes irreverent, approach is informative and humorous. Included are 16 charts for precipitation and temperature, which add greatly to the ease of both reading and understanding, as well as comparisons with England's climate records for similar time periods. If you want to know how climate really works and what data are really available, this book explains it in a nutshell.
