The Callendar Effect: The Life and Work of Guy Stewart Callendar (1898-1964) BY JAMES RODGER FLEMING

This is the untold story of the remarkable scientist who established the carbon dioxide theory of climate change. G. S. Callendar discovered that global warming could be brought about by increases in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activities, primarily through burning fossil fuels. He did this in 1938! Using never-before-published original scientific correspondence, notebooks, family letters, and photographs, noted science historian James Rodger Fleming gives us the life and work of this leading British engineer, through the World Wars and beyond, to Calendar's continuing www.ametsoc.org/seminar legacy as the scientist who established the Callendar Effect LIST $34.95 MEMBER S24.95 © 2007, HARDCOVER, 176 PGS, HM, AMS CODE: CLDR ISBN 10:1-878220-76-4, ISBN 13:978-1-878220-76-9
