Global Change and Forest Soils: Cultivating Stewardship of a Finite Natural Resource, Volume 36, provides a state-of-the-science summary and synthesis of global forest soils that identifies concerns, issues and opportunities for soil adaptation and mitigation as external pressures from global changes arise. Where, how and why some soils are resilient to global change while others are at risk is explored, as are upcoming train wrecks and success stories across boreal, temperate, and tropical forests. Each chapter offers multiple sections written by leading soil scientists who comment on wildfires, climate change and forest harvesting effects, while also introducing examples of current global issues. Readers will find this book to be an integrated, up-to-date assessment on global forest soils. - Presents sections on boreal, temperate and tropical soils for a diverse audience - Serves as an important reference source for anyone interested in both a big-picture assessment of global soil issues and an in-depth examination of specific environmental topics - Provides a unique synthesis of forest soils and their collective ability to respond to global change - Offers chapters written by leading soil scientists - Prepares readers to meet the daily challenges of drafting multi-resource environmental science and policy documents

This national scientific assessment integrates, evaluates, and interprets the findings of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program and draws from and synthesizes findings from previous assessments of the science. It analyzes current trends in global change, both natural and human-induced, and projects major trends for the future. It analyzes the effects of these changes on the natural environment, ag., water resources, social systems, energy production and use, transport., and human health. This assessment addresses not only climate change, but also other change in the global environment ¿ including water resources, oceans, atmospheric chemistry, land productivity, and ecological systems¿that may alter the capacity of Earth to sustain life.

When store detective Matt Hurst went to work that morning, he didn't expect to see himself on the evening news as the target of a manhunt for the most wanted terrorist in the country. He didn't dream he'd be seducing a beautiful spy and betraying his wife and country in order to save them. He didn't imagine he'd be battling for his life against a psychotic CIA hitman. He didn't guess he'd be playing a deadly game of mental chess with the most dangerous terrorist mastermind in the world. He didn't expect that by the end of the day he'd be the only person who could save America from World War III. If you like political thrillers in the spirit of Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy, you'll want to read Timothy Jon Reynolds' latest page-turner, The Harbinger of Change.

Climate change governance is in a state of enormous flux. New and more dynamic forms of governing are appearing around the international climate regime centred on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They appear to be emerging spontaneously from the bottom up, producing a more dispersed pattern of governing, which Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom famously described as 'polycentric'. This book brings together contributions from some of the world's foremost experts to provide the first systematic test of the ability of polycentric thinking to explain and enhance societal attempts to govern climate change. It is ideal for researchers in public policy, international relations, environmental science, environmental management, politics, law and public administration. It will also be useful on advanced courses in climate policy and governance, and for practitioners seeking incisive summaries of developments in particular sub-areas and sectors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book is open access and illustrates the spatial distribution of the global change risk of population and economic systems with the maps of environment, global climate change, global population and economic systems, and global change risk. The risks of global change are mapped at 0.25 degree grid unit. The risk results and their contribution rates of the world at national level are unprecedentedly derived and ranked. The book can be a good reference for researchers and students in the field of global climate change and natural disaster risk management, as well as risk managers and enterpriser to understand the global change risk of population and economic systems. .
