    par Gernot Wagner ...
    Stabilizing the world’s climates means cutting carbon dioxide pollution. There’s no way around it. But what if that’s not enough?

  • Can Science Fix Climate Change?

    A Case Against Climate Engineering

    par Mike Hulme ...

Drawing upon a distinguished ... En savoir plus

  • Why Society is a Complex Matter

    Meeting Twenty-first Century Challenges with a New Kind of Science

    par Philip Ball ...
    Collections series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Society is complicated. But this book argues that this does not place it beyond the reach of a science that can help to explain and perhaps even to predict social behaviour.
