气候变化、世界变暖和酸雨是我们在二十世纪末面临的最大问题。这本书首次描述了这些现象对欧洲高山和森林的影响。山脉和冰冻地区（冰冻圈）不仅在我们的气候系统中占有重要地位，而且也是我们供水的中心。然而，我们的冰川正在萎缩，我们的湖泊和土壤正在酸化，我们的森林遭到破坏，整个脆弱的生态系统，如阿尔卑斯山和高加索山脉受到威胁。作者解释了证据，并评估了这些变化对山区社会、旅游业、水、植物群和动物群的可能影响;他们还审查了不确定性。最重要的是，他们研究了应对正在发生的事情以及下一步应该采取的最佳策略。
The changing climate, the warming of the world and acid rain are among the greatest problems facing us at the end of the twentieth century. This book describes, for the first time, the effects of these phenomena on the high mountains and forests of Europe. Mountains and the frozen regions (the cyrosphere) not only pay a major part in our climatic system, but are also central to our water supplies. Yet our glaciers are shrinking, our lakes and soils are becoming acidified, our forests are damaged and the whole fragile ecosystem of ranges like the Alps and Caucasus are threatened. The authors explain the evidence and assess the probable effects of these changes on mountain society, tourism, water, flora and fauna; they also examine the uncertainties. Above all they examine the best possible strategies in response to what is happening and what the next steps should be.
