Críticas:

"...a highly impressive text...there is a wealth of information that can help understand the way our atmosphere works." BES Teaching Ecology Group Newsletter, September 2003 "Overall, the editors and authors are to be congratulated for producing a comprehensive, well-referenced and current book on atmospheric science suitable for teaching, industrial and research environments. For readers wanting current information on a particular atmospheric science topic, or topics, this book could well be the place to start." Environmental Sciences, 2004 "The book is excellently written, provides just the right mixture of theory and applications, is up to date with is references, and includes the relevant older literature that led to our current understanding. Thus, this handbook receives a full recommendation." Environmental Geology, June 2006

Reseña del editor:

The alarming consequences of global climate change have highlighted the need to take urgent steps to combat the causes of air pollution. Hence, understanding the Earth's atmosphere is a vital component in Man's emerging quest for developing sustainable modes of behaviour in the 21st century. Written by a team of expert scientists, the Handbook of Atmospheric Science provides a broad and up-to-date account of our understanding of the natural processes that occur within the atmosphere. It examines how Man's activities have had a detrimental effect on the climate, and how measures may be implemented in order to modify these activities. The book progresses through chapters covering the principles of atmospheric science and the current problems of air pollution at the urban, regional and global scales, to the tools and applications used to understand air pollution. The Handbook of Atmospheric Science offers an excellent overview of this multi-disciplinary subject and will prove invaluable to both students and researchers of atmospheric science, air pollution and global change.
