In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers: Climate Change and Andean Society Illustrated Edition

Remarkable book. Takes you right there and you shiver at the thought that all glaciers are melting. It ain't right............

Excellent and important book that confronts and rethinks many issues regarding global warming. Also, highly readable.

This is a great book that puts a unique face on climate change. If you are interested in glaciers, Latin America, or climate history/change, this is a good choice for you. Both undergraduate and graduate students could understand the themes in this book.

Quick service and item as described. Would recommend and use this provider again.

This new book is simply fantastic. It puts a real, human face on the complex abstractions we associate with climate change. The writing is sharp, alive and makes plain the author's authentic and deep understanding of his subject. Carey manages to make technical and historical matters not only entirely accessible but extremely interesting. The book reads like a story yet teaches like a text. I've read so much about climate change and I think In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers is the most important addition to climate change work since An Inconvenient Truth. Can't recommend it enough.

Very interesting and useful for my current assignment, but why did it take so long to arrive from a UK supplier?
