What We Are Reading Today: The Global Circulation of the Atmosphere

Edited By Tapio Schneider & Adam H. Sobel

Despite major advances in the observation and numerical simulation of the atmosphere, basic features of the earth’s climate remain poorly understood. 

Integrating the available data and computational resources to improve our understanding of the global circulation of the atmosphere remains a challenge. Theory must play a critical role in meeting this challenge. 

This book provides an authoritative summary of the state of the art on this front.

What We Are Reading Today: Corporate Crime and Punishment

  • Many critics of globalization and corporate impunity cheer this turn toward accountability

Author: Cornelia Wall

Over the past decade, many of the world’s biggest companies have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes over corruption, fraud, environmental damage, tax evasion, or sanction violations.

In this book, Cornelia Woll examines the politics of American corporate criminal law’s extraterritorial reach.
