Take a U. Chicago course for free


If only those who most need this would bother watching it. Here's a review of the book used in the course, which you can take in, for free, at the links above.

This review is from: Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast (Paperback)
I wish to commend this wonderful book written by my colleague, David Archer. The class upon which this book is based is a runaway success, and each year it seems they need to find a bigger lecture hall. When you have read the books like "The Weather Makers," and "Field Notes from a Catastrophe," and are ready for something more quantitative but still fairly gentle on the math, this is the one for you. I think it's the best source around for people who want to get a true scientific understanding of the physics and chemistry of climate change.
