Reviews

An excellent second edition...Compliments to the authors for a useful and carefully written book. I will assign it to my new Ph.D. students in the same way as I have asked them for almost two decades to read the first edition. --Oceanography, Vol. 18, No. 3, Sept. 2005 This completely updated book provides a clear, unified and comprehensive view of global climate models, consisting of atmosphere, ocean, land/vegetation and sea ice components, and their application to simulations of present, past and future climates. The book will serve well as a text for graduate students, a valuable reference for climate specialists, and an attractive entry point for scientists from many disciplines who are interested in climate modeling and its applications. --John E. Kutzbach, University of Wisconsin This is an excellent book, well formatted, readable, and very informative to those entering the field or its neighbors. --Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc., June 2006
