Riassunto

A textbook for an upper-level undergraduate course for majors in environmental or Earth sciences who have a modest background in calculus and physics. Based on the premise that such students need the quantitative physical basis of hydrology in order the appreciate the scientific approach to understanding observed phenomena, focuses on fundamental fluid mechanics and how it can be applied to flows of water on and beneath the Earth's surface. Also shows how hydrology is related to other environmental sciences. The CD-ROM contains an HTML version of the text that can be accessed with Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later. The glossary does not indicate pronunciations, but does refer to the section in which the term in introduced or discussed. Paper edition (unseen), $49.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Recensione:

"An outstanding text that can greatly facilitate improved education in hydrology. Hopefully, this book will be universally adopted for use in undergraduate hydrology courses that have an integrated environmental focus. I fully expect that the book will also find its way to the bookshelves of many professionals and graduate students. Personally, starting next year, I plan to use this book as one of the assigned texts for the three-quarter-long Environmental Earth Science series at Stanford." -- Keith Loague, Ground Water
