Climate change is one of the most complex, multilayered and interdisciplinary intellectual puzzles facing us today. The questions are numerous. What scientific processes underpin climate change? To what extent is human activity a driver of climate change? Can future changes be reliably predicted? What are the likely consequences of climate change, and what policies are needed to mitigate these changes? Climate Change offers a unique interdisciplinary journey through this important, and equally fascinating, field. It takes the reader from keystones of the underlying science - and not just the headlines - through to the philosophical and political consequences of climate change. Taking into account latest scientific research and policy decisions, it blends earth science, biology, technology, economics, geography, politics, philosophy and ethics - together with other themes - to present a coherent, balanced overview of the field, with a particular eye towards one goal: the sustainability of our planet. The potential impact of climate change is vast; Climate Change is the ideal guide to developing the skills needed to take part in the debates that will shape our future.

When Amy and her friends watch a female fighting video they decide to start a female fight club. They soon realise that operating the club is not just loads of sexy fun, but also involves drama and risks. After a biker club forces their way into the club, the friends are introduced to a life of crime. Kidnapping and murder soon become part of their lives. The fighting outside the female fight club is sometimes more brutal than the fighting inside the fighting pit. A lesbian love affair is the spark that lights the keg which threatens to destroy Amy's life. An unlikely hero may be her only chance to survive.

Greens are driven by a concern with the fate of future generations and the natural world on which we all depend. They argue that theirs is the only way of ensuring the survival of a sustainable planet. The case they make is powerful, emotive, urgent and politically controversial. In the space of a couple of decades, Greens have shaped an influential movement. Issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss are now familiar and widely accepted. The challenge for Greens today is to turn mainstream rhetoric into meaningful action and this book considers whether they have the appetite and potential to "change the world."
