As a fixture in recent headlines, the Earth's climate has commanded much attention. While environmental and atmospheric conditions in large part determine the climate of a region, the impact of human activity has increasingly become a significant factor as well. This is especially true concerning significant climate changes, commonly known as global warming. New technologies and an ever-expanding population have contributed to worldwide climate shifts in ways that are harmful to the planet. The factors affecting climate, the various climate classification systems, and international responses to global warming are all carefully considered in this volume.

      Gr 9 Up- These volumes reprint articles and illustrations from Britannica Online Encyclopedia without ever mentioning that fact even in the fine print. The updating seems spotty; some articles haven't been revised for 10 years or more, charts showing weather and other trends cut off at 2005, and in Climate and Climate Change, a photo of a "hybrid" car shows a 2006 model. The color photos are small and cramped-looking, the overall appearance is dense and drab, and bibliographical essays at each volume's end are not accompanied by website listings. These will be useful additions only where access to equivalent online material is not available.
