An incredible wealth of scientific data on global warming has been collected in the last few decades. The history of the Earth's climate has been probed by drilling into polar ice sheets and sediment layers of the oceans' vast depths, and great advances have been made in computer modelling of our cl[...]
Archer's Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast 2 nd Edition, is the first real text to present the science and policy surrounding climate change at the right level. Accompanying videos, simulations and instructional support makes it easier to build a syllabus to improve and create new materi[...]
"The Global Carbon Cycle" is a short introduction to this essential geochemical driver of the Earth's climate system, written by one of the world's leading climate-science experts. In this one-of-a-kind primer, David Archer engages readers in clear and simple terms about the many ways the global car[...]

If you think that global warming means slightly hotter weather and a modest rise in sea levels that will persist only so long as fossil fuels hold out (or until we decide to stop burning them), think again. In "The Long Thaw", David Archer, one of the world's leading climatologists, predicts that if[...]
Chosen for the 2011 ASLI Choice - Honorable Mention (History Category) for a compendium of the key scientific papers that undergird the global warming forecast.Global warming is arguably the defining scientific issue of modern times, but it is not widely appreciated that the foundations of our under[...]
The Warming Papers is a compendium of the classic scientific papers that constitute the foundation of the global warming forecast. The paper trail spans over 175 years, ranging from Fourier and Arrhenius in the 19th Century to Manabe and Hansen in modern times.[...]
Nästa sekelskifte ? år 2100 ? figurerar ofta i klimatdebatten. FN:s klimatpanel har angivit hur mycket temperatuen kan komma att stiga tills dess och hur mycket havsytan kan komma att höjas. Hundra år ? eller nittio, om man ska vara exakt ? är en överblickbar tid: många människor som lever i[...]
"Real Estate Principles: A Value Approach" demonstrates how value is central to virtually all real estate decision-making. Students using Ling and Archer should finish the course with a value-oriented framework, and a set of valuation and decision making tools that can be applied in a variety of rea[...]
Bacteria, yeast, fungi and microalgae can act as producers (or catalysts for the production) of food ingredients, enzymes and nutraceuticals. With the current trend towards the use of natural ingredients in foods, there is renewed interest in microbial flavours and colours, food bioprocessing using [...]
