520    "Climate models are some of our most powerful tools for 
       exploring human-induced global warming. These models, 
       derived from numerical weather prediction models, are 
       based upon the fundamental laws of physics. Using powerful
       computers, they can act as virtual laboratories for 
       studying the structure and behavior of the atmosphere-
       ocean-land system. As our climate models get more and more
       sophisticated, they allow us to not only better predict 
       climate change, but also to learn more about the physical 
       mechanisms involved in climate, which remain difficult to 
       isolate without the help of computers. Starting from 
       Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish physicist who created the 
       first climate model of the Earth over a century ago, this 
       book presents a history of the use of models in studies of
       climate change. It is written explicitly from the 
       perspective of the authors, particularly Syukuro Manabe, 
       one of the forefathers of modern climate modelling. 
       Although not a memoir, Beyond Global Warming will describe
       his (and, to a degree, Anthony Broccoli's) intellectual 
       relationship to the development of the field at key points
       over the last half-century. The book begins with the 
       basics of atmospheric circulation and the scientific 
       antecedents of climate modelling. The authors then 
       overview important historical advances, such as the first 
       general circulation models, and the insights into climate 
       physics they gave us. This includes the role of the oceans
       in climate change. In addressing climate modelling as a 
       rich and consistently developing field, the book will 
       demonstrate its power as a tool for revealing the 
       mysteries of climate, one of the most complicated pieces 
       of our planetary system, and its potential to teach us 
       even more in the coming decades"--|cProvided by publisher.
