The Science of Climate Migration

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the nexus between science and migration, and examines how the two are inextricably intertwined. It addresses the science of global climate change, and examines how this change is more than a region being too hot or too cold, rather it is also about heightened military tensions, political instability, and other factors.
