Sobre IBD

This intriguing volume provides a thorough examination ofthe historical roots of global climate change as a field ofinquiry, from the Enlightenment to the late twentiethcentury. Based on primary and archival sources, the book isfilled with interesting perspectives on what people haveunderstood, experienced, and feared about the climate andits changes in the past. Chapters explore climate andculture in Enlightenment thought; climate debates in earlyAmerica; the development of international networks ofobservation; the scientific transformation of climatediscourse; and early contributions to understandingterrestrial temperature changes, infrared radiation, and thecarbon dioxide theory of climate. But perhaps mostimportant, this book shows what a study of the past has tooffer the interdisciplinary investigation of currentenvironmental problems.
