As it is, this has been a rewarding experience for me personally, something which has forced me to read literature that I would not otherwise have read, and to clarify things in my head that would have remained muddled. What I have set out to do here is provide an accessible textbook for university students, and a generalized source of current scientific information and opinion for both academics and the interested lay reader. I have myself often found it frustrating that there have been no accessible textbooks on most of the subjects dealt with here, and I hope that this book will fill the gap. My friends and colleagues have provided valuable comment, amongst them David Schwartzman, Axel Kleidon, Alex Guenther, Ellen Thomas, Tyler Volk, Ning Zeng, Hans Renssen, Mary Killilea, Charlie Zender, Rich Norby, Christian Koerner and Roger Pielke Sr. I could not stop myself from adding to the manuscript even after they had sent me their careful advice, and any embarrassing errors that have slipped through are of course a result of my doing this. I am also very grateful to everyone who has generously given me permission to use their own photographs as illustrations in this book, and I have named each one in the photo caption. 410 0$aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aClimatology 606 $aEconomic geology 606 $aAtmospheric sciences 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aClimatology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/311000 606 $aEconomic Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17010 606 $aAtmospheric Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aEconomic geology. 615 0$aAtmospheric sciences. 615 14$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aClimatology. 615 24$aEconomic Geology. 615 24$aAtmospheric Sciences. 676 $a581.722 700 $aAdams$b Jonathan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0531270 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777047603321 996 $aVegetation-Climate Interaction$93806107 997 $aUNINA
