Purchase options and add-ons

Today’s oil and gas are at record prices, whilst global energy demand is increasing from population and economic development pressures. Climate change, resulting in large part from the burning of fossil fuels, is exacerbating the impacts of the accelerated exploitation of our natural resources. Therefore, anxieties over energy, water, and climate security are at an all-time high. Global action is needed now in order to address this set of urgent challenges and to avoid putting the future of our civilization at risk. This book examines the powerful interconnections that link energy, water, climate and population, exploring viable options in addressing these issues collectively. Difficult political decisions and major reforms in resource governance, policies, market forces, and use are needed and this book provides excellent introductory material to begin to understand and to address these problems.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Catherine Gautier deserves congratulations for creating a textbook that not only deals with these three textbooks, but most important, also draws them together and shows how they are connected. ...[the book] does a great job of making these important topics accessible. ...it brings together many important ideas in Earth Science, technology, and global policy." - Robert M. Hirsch, EOS

"Aimed at freshman students, the book is intended to open doors rather than to provide comprehensive coverage. Nonetheless, coverage of the major topics is quite thorough and presented in a highly accessible writing style. ...the book explores each topics in sufficient depth to facilitate introducing the very likely consequences of abusing resources related to overpopulation and failure to consider alternatives such as solar and nuclear energy. ...Highly recommended." - E.J. Kormondy, CHOICE

"Gautier’s textbook does an admirable job of elucidating the complex interactions between industrial development, land-use patterns, population growth and their environmental impacts, for entrance-level university students. However, her work is also a valuable reference text for academics without specialization in the area, and concerned citizens wanting to learn more." - In-Spire

Book Description

An excellent introduction to oil, water and climate change issues for students of environmental science.
