Description: Readable, relevant and fascinating, in Living in a Warmer World Dr Jim Salinger brings together some of the world's leading scientists to describe how a hotter planet is affecting our food supplies, fisheries and agriculture, access to fresh water and public health. From these specifics, a clearer picture emerges of how our planet is changing and how this will affect our daily lives. The essays look at what we are doing now to help plan for and adapt to our future, and the political and ethical issues around making changes on both national and global scales.
