'This is a timely and important book that lucidly and engagingly covers topics related to climate change, topics that currently receive enormous attention and that unfortunately cause polarization.' S. George Philander, Princeton University
'David Neelin's book is a very valuable and accessible textbook for students of climate science, and all those with an interest in climate modeling. It is a thorough and highly readable book that neatly spans the gap between general interest climate change texts and higher-level books for specialists.' Drew Shindell, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
'This book presents the diverse subjects of climate modeling and climate variability in a way that is clear and understandable to students from different backgrounds. The author is a world-famous climate scientist who has been highly successful both in research and teaching, covering all of the theoretical, modeling and data analysis aspects of climate science. The book is based on a course he has been teaching at UCLA for many years, which has been extremely popular and highly valued by students from a variety of disciplines. I am sure that the book will soon become the standard textbook on climate modeling and climate change.' Akio Arakawa, University of California, Los Angeles
'With the looming prospect of serious climate change at hand, it is ever more important to interest the best and brightest minds in the challenging problems of climate science. But those of us who teach climate science have been handicapped by the lack of a comprehensive and engaging text. With his masterful Climate Change and Climate Modeling, David Neelin has answered our prayers.' Kerry A. Emanuel, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
'... a positive addition to the library shelf ... well written, clear and accessible ...' Eos Transactions, American Geophysical Union
'... well written and demonstrates the ability of the author to explain a wide range of concepts ... a welcome addition to the set of introductory climate science books and should be especially valuable for students ...' Paul A. O'Gorman, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
