Global Physical Climatology is an introductory text devoted to the fundamental physical principles and problems of climate sensitivity and change. Addressing some of the most critical issues in climatology, this text features incisive coverage of topics that are central to understanding orbital parameter theory for past climate changes, and for anthropogenic and natural causes of near-future changes--

Key Features
* Covers the physics of climate change
* Examines the nature of the current climate and its previous changes
* Explores the sensitivity of climate and the mechanisms by which humans are likely to produce near-future climate changes
* Provides instructive end-of-chapter exercises and appendices

Excellent book! Really good at explaining complicated topics in easy to understand way. I’m finally able to understand many common atmospheric phenomena after reading this book, such as ENSO and deep ocean circulation, so I like that the author explains these ideas with minimal jargon. Definitely recommended if you want to learn more about our world and the events and processes that effect us!
