Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary View

The book «Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary View» represents an essential compendium that addresses the complexity of climate change through an inherently interdisciplinary approach. The book’s structure, with chapters written by renowned specialists in each field of knowledge addressed, shows an effort to transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, offering a rigorous and multifaceted overview of this global phenomenon. Furthermore, the book considers the main scientific perspectives on the phenomenon, especially those currently agreed upon by the vast majority, as well as other scientifically important but lesser-known contributions. All of them are based on findings that have been disseminated in high-impact publications and that, as a whole, enrich the debate that is characteristic of science and necessary to advance knowledge in this field. The volume begins with a contextualizing introduction, delves into the historical roots and probable origin of current climate change, and then examines its foundations from climatology and meteorology, exploring the interconnections between energy, climate, and sustainability. The work then extends its analysis to the biological consequences, with special attention to the relationship between climate change and vector-borne diseases. In addition to the natural and health sciences, the volume incorporates humanistic and social perspectives, through which the philosophical dimensions of the problem are examined, culminating in a reflection on the need for a new environmental education adapted to contemporary challenges. This comprehensive approach makes «Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary View» a resource of notable value for the academic and scientific community. Its design allows researchers, teachers, and university students to obtain a holistic and informed understanding of this problem, facilitating dialogue between different areas of knowledge and proposing future lines of research that allow for a deeper understanding.
