Highlights sTephen burT
“This is a fascinating and highly readable book from authors with deep knowledge and a wealth of sharp (and often amusing) insights into the ups and downs of the US radioactive waste management programme. It will appeal especially to geologists, nuclear scientists and technologists with a taste for the lessons of history, particularly those experiencing today the difficulties of implementing solutions to a complex technical problem that is also highly charged, politically and societally.” Professor Neil Chapman, MCM Switzerland and University of Sheffield, UK; radioactive waste-management consultant to international industrial, regulatory and governmental organisations. “An excellent source of information for both the experienced nuclear waste professional and other interested parties. The reader is taken from an Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) seminar on radioactive waste in 1949 to a final chapter on nuclear waste and our energy future. A truly great ride that strikes a balance between the technical aspects and the extremely interesting history of our efforts to deal with the challenges of nuclear waste management.” Professor James H. Clarke, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Earth and Environmental Sciences, Vanderbilt University.

➤ See page 5 When the nuclear energy industry was launched in the 1950s, Robert Oppenheimer dismissed the waste problem as “unimportant.” Over a half-century later, the waste issue is as prominent as reactor safety in the international controversies surrounding nuclear power. It is particularly topical in the US since the 2010 closure of the Yucca Mountain repository project. With no long-term plan in sight, high-level radioactive waste remains scattered across 121 sites in 39 states.
SEcond Edition
William and Rosemarie Alley provide an engaging and authoritative account of the controversies and possibilities surrounding disposal of nuclear waste in the US, with reference also to the difficulties and progress of other countries around the world. The book tells the full history from the early days after World War II up to the present time, with an insightful perspective drawn from William Alley’s expertise in the field, including leading the US Geological Survey study of Yucca Mountain. Stories of key players bring to life the pioneering science, the political wrangling and media drama, and the not-in-my-backyard communities fighting to put the waste somewhere else.
Evolution of a Habitable World Jonathan I. LunIne
Written in down-to-earth language, this is a fascinating book for public interest groups, affected communities, and anyone interested in finding out more about this issue. The timely and important subject also makes it a valuable resource for policymakers, political staff, environmentalists, and research scientists working in related fields.

An invaluable assessment for anyone interested in climate extremes, environmental disasters and adaptation to climate change, including policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.
Australian National University, Canberra
A Short Introduction to Climate Change provides a clear, balanced and well documented account of one of the most important issues of our time. It covers developments in climate science over the past 250 years and shows that recent climate change is more than the result of natural variability. It explains the difference between weather and climate by examining changes in temperature, rainfall, Arctic ice and ocean currents. It also considers the consequences of our use of fossil fuels and discusses some of the ways to reduce further global warming. Tony Eggleton avoids the use of scientific jargon to provide a reader-friendly explanation of the science of climate change. Concise but comprehensive and richly illustrated with a wealth of full-colour figures and photographs, A Short Introduction to Climate Change is essential reading for anyone who has an interest in climate science and in the future of our planet. ‘… an exceptionally lucid account of the basic science of climate change … [it] provides clear insights for non-specialists into how scientists probe into the workings of the climate system and why we have confidence in what we know.’ Professor Will Steffen, Executive Director, ANU Climate Change Institute 2012 228 x 152 mm 248pp 83 colour illus. 9 maps 978-1-107-61876-3 Paperback £25.00 www.cambridge.org/9781107618763

Principles of Planetary Climate Raymond T. Pierrehumbert University of Chicago
Unified treatment of physical principles of planetary climates for advanced students and researchers in atmospheric science, Earth and planetary science. ‘The words ‘original’ and ‘textbook’ don’t often go together, but I think it is appropriate to use them both when describing this book.

‘The first edition is a classic. As a textbook it is unequalled in breadth, depth and lucidity. It is the single volume that I recommend to every one of my students in atmospheric science. The new edition improves over the previous edition, if that is possible at all, in three aspects: beautiful illustrations of global processes … from newly available satellite data, new topics of current interest … and a new chapter on the influence of the ocean on the atmosphere. These changes make the book more useful as a starting point for studying climate change.’

Presents a multidisciplinary and observational approach to introduce the physical processes that drive ocean biogeochemistry and global climate change. ‘This is an outstanding book, likely to become a standard text for those needing to know about both ocean physics and biogeochemistry. Its main achievement is to cover both aspects in sufficient depth to provide a genuinely useful treatment of key concept[s], but at a sufficiently gentle technical and mathematical level to remain accessible to both communities. The excellent sets of problems (and solutions) will help readers to increase their understanding of the topics covered. I can see the book being widely adopted for upperlevel undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as being used by more experienced researchers needing to increase their knowledge and understanding of the other discipline.’

The Problem of High-Level Nuclear Waste William M. Alley and Rosemarie Alley
Today, the issue of waste management is as prominent as reactor safety in the controversies surrounding nuclear power and is particularly topical in the US since the 2010 closure of the Yucca Mountain repository project. William and Rosemarie Alley provide an engaging and authoritative account of the controversies and possibilities surrounding disposal of nuclear waste in the US, with reference also to other countries around the world. The book tells the full history from the beginnings after World War II up to today, bringing to life the pioneering science, the political wrangling and media drama, and the not-in-mybackyard communities fighting to put waste elsewhere. Written in down-toearth language, by an expert with key involvement in the Yucca Mountain project, this is a timely book for public interest groups, affected communities, policymakers, environmentalists and research scientists working in related

Environmental policy, economics and law Environmental Health Ethics David B. Resnik National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland
Environmental Health Ethics illuminates the conflicts between protecting the environment and promoting human health. David B. Resnik develops a method for making ethical decisions on environmental health issues. He applies this method to various policy issues, from antibiotic resistance to global climate change, and explores the ways in which human values and concerns interact with environmental protection. ‘Resnik has written a wonderful introduction to the field of environmental health ethics. He supplies a wealth of information about the key ethical issues in the field, as well as the science that underlies those issues. Moreover, he proposes a set of ethical principles – including both human-focused and environment-focused considerations – for addressing ethical questions related to environmental health.’ Kevin C.
