Résumé
Here George Philander describes how the interplay between familiar yet endlessly fascinating phenomena-winds and clouds, light and air, land and sea-maintains climates that permit a glorious diversity of fauna and flora to flourish on Earth. The book is an excellent introduction to the basics of the Earth's climate and weather, and will be an important contribution to the debate about climate change and the relationship between scientific knowledge and public affairs.
