Lia ，

Beautiful layout， very informative chapters， easy to navigate （ebook）。。。 I enjoyed diving into so many aspects of Earth's climate and all the earth system knowledge in this book。 I had two climate change classes during the same semester （one was an honors course）， and it was interesting to have the two textbooks enhance each other and go beyond each other in different directions or with different emphases， and to see the differing interests and backgrounds of the authors。 I would recommend readi Beautiful layout， very informative chapters， easy to navigate （ebook）。。。 I enjoyed diving into so many aspects of Earth's climate and all the earth system knowledge in this book。 I had two climate change classes during the same semester （one was an honors course）， and it was interesting to have the two textbooks enhance each other and go beyond each other in different directions or with different emphases， and to see the differing interests and backgrounds of the authors。 I would recommend reading multiple textbooks on the same subject for those dynamics and the richer learning。The other textbook was "Global Climate Change: Convergence of Disciplines" by Arnold J。 Bloom。 。。。more

Well， it's a textbook。。。。。。 so it's mostly pretty boring despite dealing with some really fascinating stuff。 So yeah， it's very interesting; and， in short， a pretty good primer/baseline for reading climate-related articles and books without having to take them at their word。 Seriously， it can't hurt to understand some of the basic processes and tendencies that so much of climate change is based on - and here it is， packaged with pretty pictures and （mostly dull） facts-boxes。。。 at a "very special Well， it's a textbook。。。。。。 so it's mostly pretty boring despite dealing with some really fascinating stuff。 So yeah， it's very interesting; and， in short， a pretty good primer/baseline for reading climate-related articles and books without having to take them at their word。 Seriously， it can't hurt to understand some of the basic processes and tendencies that so much of climate change is based on - and here it is， packaged with pretty pictures and （mostly dull） facts-boxes。。。 at a "very special price for you"* ;）*No， seriously， get the cheap（er） paperback version; and I'm sure you can find an as-new "used" one from your friendly neighborhood （D） college student！ 。。。more

Very nice， well-written， interesting ideas: but （almost） no cites！ Ruddiman gets points for avoiding fashionable alarmism， and dealing with real science， but I don't know why he didn't include source notes。 Still， a valuable textbook。 3。7 stars Very nice， well-written， interesting ideas: but （almost） no cites！ Ruddiman gets points for avoiding fashionable alarmism， and dealing with real science， but I don't know why he didn't include source notes。 Still， a valuable textbook。 3。7 stars 。。。more

A solid foundational text on how we understand and study climate change。

As someone with zero science background， I found Earth's Climate to be incredibly helpful in understanding climate change。 The first few chapters explain the different ways how scientists study climate。 Ruddiman then starts back in time and moves forward to look at climate change。 Each chapter is packed with information， but in a good way - no word is unnecessary。 However， since it is so dense in that way， it's incredibly difficult to retain all the information。 This book is great to read （slowl As someone with zero science background， I found Earth's Climate to be incredibly helpful in understanding climate change。 The first few chapters explain the different ways how scientists study climate。 Ruddiman then starts back in time and moves forward to look at climate change。 Each chapter is packed with information， but in a good way - no word is unnecessary。 However， since it is so dense in that way， it's incredibly difficult to retain all the information。 This book is great to read （slowly）， talk about with others， reread， and keep for reference。 Ruddiman wrote in a way that was easy to understand， but it didn't feel 'dumbed down'。 A great intro into climate science and to get real information on how climate has naturally changed compared with the rate it's changing nowadays due to us humans。 。。。more
