Climates of Hunger

by Reid A. Bryson, Thomas J. Murray

In recent years, world climate changes have drawn more attention than at any other time in history. What we once called "crazy weather," just a few years ago, is now beginning to be seen as a part of a logical and, in part, predictable pattern, an awesome natural force that we must deal with if man is to avoid disaster of unprecedented proportions.

Climates of Hunger is a book of paramount importance for our time. It will be essential reading not only for professionals in the field—including agricultural meteorologists, political scientists, geographers, sociologists, and business counselors—but for all who are concerned in any way with environmental trends, world and domestic food supplies, and their effects on human institutions.

It shows that climate science has come a long way since 1977. This book now reads more as a history of climate science then a climate science book in it self. But not a bad background to the field, even if it was nothing in it I didnt know since before, and I have only had some intrerest in climate science the last 20 years.
Also a bit suprised that the authors came to the wrong conclusions in the end of the book, knowing that most climat scientist in the 70ties had the opposit view of where we are heading.

very useful reference; sensible historical treatment of climate change, long before the world's mainstream media or big businesses were taking the threats seriously

An early predictor of what's coming for regions across the world.
