Climate change has moved from being a contested phenomenon to the top of the agenda at global summits. Climate Change Biology is the first major textbook to address the critical issue of how climate change may affect life on the planet, and particularly its impact on human populations. Presented in four parts, the first deals extensively with the physical evidence of climate change and various modelling efforts to predict its future. Biological responses are addressed in the second part, from the individual's physiology to populations and ecosystems, and further to considering adaptation and evolution. The third part examines the specific impact climate change may have on natural resources, agriculture and forestry. The final part considers research on the cutting edge of impact prediction and the practical and philosophical limitations on our abilities to predict these impacts. This text will be a useful asset to the growing number of both undergraduate and graduate courses on impacts of climate change, as well as providing a succinct overview for researchers new to the field.

Every life experience you have ever faced—no matter how traumatic—was necessary for your growth, physically, spiritually and mentally. Every encounter you have had and every decision you have made up to this moment has already been accounted for in the script of your life. Where you are at this exact moment in time is where you are supposed to be. What you are doing or have done leading to this moment in time is exactly what you were supposed to do. Predestined in My Purpose explores the idea that every encounter we have leads us one step closer to our greater cause or purpose. When faced with the negative energy floating around in the universe, how do we replace the negative with the good? How do we cope with our traumatic life experiences? How do we as a society begin the healing process? Asking forgiveness of others, forgiving others, and forgiving ourselves can change our perspective. It can lead to healing not only in ourselves but also in the world as a whole. Adversity builds our character, strengthens us, and brings us to our expected endings, the ones written from before our birth. No matter what issues we face in life, we are all predestined to WIN. Uplifting and encouraging, this guide demonstrates the way in which all our experiences contribute to helping us grow and bringing us to our destined purpose.
