Climate change biology [Book] / by Jonathan A. Newman ... [et al.]. - Wallingford, Oxfordshire ; Cambridge, MA : CABI, c2011. - xiii, 289 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), col. maps ; 25 cm.

Climate Change Biology is the first major textbook to address the critical issue of how climate change may affect life on the planet, and particularly its impact on human populations. Presented in three parts, the first deals extensively with the physical evidence of climate change and various modelling efforts to predict its future. Biological responses are then addressed from the individual's physiology to populations and ecosystems, and further to considering adaptation and evolution. The final section examines the specific impact climate change may have on natural resources, particularly as these relate to human livelihood.
