ReviewsOverall the work is scholarly, accessible, and timely, synthesizing the current state of the field of global change biology. There are several novel contributions of this work that are not available in comparable works on global change biology... There are simply no other textbooks available that provide the spatio-temporal scale and comprehensiveness of multiple facets of global change biology that this proposed text contains. The emerging trend for globalchange scientists is one of integrative science, and I think this book emulates the way many of us studying global change practice our science. - Sarah Diamond, Case Western ReserveThis text is different from other Environmental Science texts by offering a more detailed treatment of ecology and evolutionary biology that is key to understanding the impacts of global change on natural populations. I also like the greater emphasis in examining contemporary studies on measuring impacts on global change. The organization of the textbook seems quite intuitive. The Enrichment Features, and some of the Assessment Features, particularly "The BlankPage", will prove to be useful to many. - Madhu Srinivasan, University of KentuckyFinally a textbook is available which provides a complete and comprehensive coverage of the field of global change biology. The textbook offers clear explanations of fundamental scientific concepts in global change biology in the context of current scientific findings and case studies. This textbook offers students an opportunity to engage with the material through active learning, inquiry and critical thinking making it a robust pedagogical tool forteaching. - Teresa Lynn Newberry, Tohono O'odham Community College, "Overall the work is scholarly, accessible, and timely, synthesizing the current state of the field of global change biology.

SynopsisGlobal Change Biology is available in e-book format only. Print-on-demand can be provided for orders where print is specified. The first of its kind, Rosenblum goes beyond the narrow focus of existing texts, which tend to focus on climate only, by offering a conceptionally integrated approach to understanding how humans have impacted life on Earth. The textbook guides students to think about change across spatial and temporal scales and fills a unique niche of integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives throughout., Global Change Biology is available in e-book format only. Print-on-demand can be provided for orders where print is specified. Bree Rosenblum's Global Change Biology provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of Global Change Biology and a roadmap for structuring Global Change Biology courses, a burgeoning field of biological study. The first of its kind, Rosenblumgoes beyond the narrow focus of existing texts, which tend to focus on climate only, by offering a conceptionally integrated approach to understanding how humans have impacted life on Earth. The textbook guides students to think about change across spatial and temporalscales and fills a unique niche of integrating ecological and evolutionary perspectives throughout. The conceptual arc of the textbook is organized around four fundamental learning objectives that traverse the past, present, and future. Students will explore: a) the complex history of planetary change, b) the impact of contemporary stressors across biological levels, biomes, and the tree of life, c) the dynamic interactions and responses of living systems to planetarychange, and d) the opportunities for maintaining resilient ecosystems in a changing world. Enrichment features include Core Concepts boxes reviewing foundational material, Meet the Data boxes providingdirect experience interpreting global change biology data, and Taking a Closer Look providing an opportunity to evaluate multifaceted biological responses in complex systems. Pre- and post- assessment tools like The Blank Page and reflection questions throughout, encourage students to reflect, self-assess, and deepen their learning.The primary intended audience for Global Change Biology is upper division undergraduate students who are ready toapply key concepts in ecology and evolution to the Global Change Biology theme area and develop a more analytical and integrative skill set as scientists. However, the textbook has crossover power to engage other audiences andprovide a roadmap for developing courses to inform and inspire students about the study of life on a rapidly changing planet., Global Change Biology is available in e-book format only.
