Dalla quarta di copertina:

Environmental Science: Physical Principles and Applications examines the fundamental problems that arise from the interaction between humans and their natural environment. Taken from a physicists perspective, this comprehensive introduction considers how the negative impact of our modern existence upon our environment can be avoided, or at the very least reduced.

Providing extensive coverage of the field, this book brings together the latest developments, theories, research and concerns from both a scientific and social perspective. Beginning with an introduction on approaching environmental problems, the text then moves on to look at climatic change, conventional energy, the transport of pollutants, experimental methods and ends with a discussion on science and society.

Mathematics is only introduced where necessary, and is carefully explained with derivations generally avoided. The science is made more accessible through the introduction of many illustrative examples in the theoretical parts of the text combined with the inclusion of numerous mini–case studies.

Environmental Science: Physical Principles and Applications features:

• Extensive coverage of the latest concerns, issues and developments within the field from both a scientific and social perspective.
• Numerous relevant examples and mini–case studies (appetisers) combined with exercises in each chapter and references for further reading.
• A supplementary website where students can access experiments and simple models relevant to the book

This introductory textbook will be invaluable to all students taking a first course in environmental science, environmental physics, environmental analysis or environmental monitoring.
